Yikes. That is still open?
There was no closing conclusion, so I think yes?

No, obviously not.
I can put in the patches, but I neither have a reasonably recent
port-sparc instance available on short notice, nor any sparc assembler
fu. So somebody else would have to step up, or at least test the result
of my fat-fingering. ;)
I obviously will try to build mutt against db4/5 on qemu-system-sparc and see if I can browse some saved mboxes and extract patches from there
