Description
There is a class named 'sparc' in the hotspot sources. This is also a macro defined by the compiler.

Recently when trying to isolate a CC bug I created a .i file and it failed to compile because 'class sparc' turns into 'class 1'.

Seems like anything like 'Sparc' or 'SPARC' or something like that would be a better name to avoid this problem.
