Because currently any package linking against libsystemd or libudev,
*will* fail to build from source on sparc and sparc64. In return, these
packages have many reverse dependencies meaning that many packages in
sparc64 are currently BD-Uninstallable.

Really, this workaround is currently the only chance we have to be able
to continue working on the ports.
