Well, in theory it's just this:

in real life build sets and build distribution will complain because
sunffb.o is not in the file list for NetBSD/sparc, but at least it
should get built. ( see src/distrib/sets/lists/xserver/md.sparc* to fix
that )
Wether it works properly or not is a completely different question
though, we didn't pay much attention to keeping 32bit compatibility, on
the other hand we didn't deliberately break it so there's a chance it
will Just Work.

have fun
Michael
