Yes, John Paul Adrian Glaubitz and the Debian Project have kindly provided me with access to a Sparc box. I'm planning to send a patch that puts sparc into the 'supported' category before 2.9 release.

I'd recommend trying to get a machine into the gcc compile farm (assuming they'd be willing to take it) -- that way it's accessible to developers for a range of open source projects. thanks -- PMM
