Tested with this program, output is

        flags=0x9001 O_SYNC=0x1000 O_RANDOM=0

My user space O_SYNC is still the old O_DSYNC. But should be OK to
test the sparc O_SYNC.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#define O_RANDOM       040000000       /* random access pattern hint */

int main (void)
{
	int fd, flags;

	fd = open("/tmp/fcntl-test",
		  O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | O_SYNC | O_RANDOM, 0666);
	flags = fcntl(fd, F_GETFL, 0);
	printf("flags=%#lx O_SYNC=%#lx O_RANDOM=%#lx\n",
	       flags, flags & O_SYNC, flags & O_RANDOM);
}
