Just curious to see if anyone has an UltraSPARC loaded with PLD - seems
to me that lacking an official kernel RPM, nobody would have a working system.
The other major obstacle is the 32/64 bit translation between userland and
kernel - there is certainly no glibc64 RPM for sparc64 nor is there any 6

It seems to me that with the current state of ioctl translation, having
a 32 bit userland is a PITA for a 64 bit kernel. I'm not certain that
a 32 bit kernel would work on a sun4u and hence I have always built my
own 64 bit kernel RPMs. What gets me the latest is XFS - seems that none
of those ioct

I already have a biarch gcc before crosssparc64 was even built.

Any specifics on why it would be unlikely to become official? Like lack of
testing and such? I don't seem find any official 64 bit kernel RPM release.
The first I find is that I need a biarch gcc before I can easily build a
64 bit kernel, and I do have a patch lying around that will produce a biarc
Hi,
I have noticed that there doesn't seem to be a 64 bit kernel or biarch gcc
for Ac Sparc/Sparc64. I'm wondering if there was any intention for a Sparc64
release, and if not what is the reasoning behind it. I have been able to build
an UltraSPARC on my own after some major hacking to produce a 6
