I was thinking about adding support to RISU, but the gcc compile farm sparc
machines have been down for ages, so no way to generate the reference traces.
Update: I have successfully ported RISU to Sparc64, Solaris and Linux. There is a
limitation in that I cannot find how to extract %gsr from the signal frame, which is
unfortunate, but I can work around that for now.
I have added descriptions of VIS1 instructions to RISU, and it turns out we have
failures relative to a Sparc M8. I have not yet analyzed these failures, but it
proves the effort was not wasted. :-)
I'll clean up these patches and post them here when I next get some downtime.

That's great news, thanks for the update. I've had confirmation that there is work
underway to repair the SPARC hardware hosting Linux for the gcc buildfarm, so
hopefully it will be back in service soon.
ATB,
Mark.
