Well, most probably because there are other severe problems with
sparc64 on 1.6.2; I beleive the compiler being one of them, and that
it's not the only largish problem with that combination.

I think your best bet is to use 2.0 on sparc64, or... 2.0.1 when that
comes out -- a couple of important fixes for fatal problems in the
sparc64 port didn't make the cut for 2.0.  We hope to push out 2.0.1
for sparc64 relatively quickly.

Same to you.
