Well here is the situation. Dept had a lab with SPARC based Solaris machines that were phased out in summer (over my objections). I needed the environment to teach first computer archt course with some assembly language thrown in. Intel processor assembly requires a much bigger effort (on part of students) which defeats the puprpose of the course. So, I thought that I could put together the SPARC back, if I am able to boot a SPARC version of Linux (with gcc, gas, text-editor and networking) under qemu. Hence the barrage of questions. GUI is a non-issue.
Couldn't you just build a crosscompiler and cross-binutils and then use qemu-sparc instead of qemu-system-sparc, i.e. using user emulation instead of whole system emulation ?
