   BTW: did you test that with gcc-current? Does it work there?


i've never been able to build gcc-current sparc64 that i recall.  i think
my attempt with the 3.0 branch was able to build itself and a kernel, but
the kernel didn't finish loading...  i didn't look beyond that.


i'm told the redhat `2.96' compiler has decent sparc64 support, but i tried
that once a few months ago but it wouldn't build for me either.


so, to answer your question:  i've never been able to test it.
