I don't see any indication that is really true. I see one commit to the SPARC backend to enable 64-bit support 3 years ago and zero work on the SPARC backend since then. The LLVM developers have been talking about ripping out the SPARC backend for awhile now as it is unmaintained. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
