That'll be me. It's actually a port to sparc64, since I don't have
access to a plain old sparc processor at the moment. It doesn't work
yet, and I've got stuck, so I haven't done any work on it for a while.

You can download a patch for what I've done so far, here:

http://leapster.org/linux/lsm-sparc64-2.4.20-patch.3

I don't really know what I'm doing, however, so don't expect to see
anything sane there ;)

Basically I've used the i386 patch & Russell's arm port as a guide - so now,
it compiles and boots fine, but it doesn't seem to do what it's
supposed to do, and I didn't know what to do next.

And I'm sure I've screwed up the part for the 32-bit userspace.

Cheers,

Paul
