If someone could point to a couple of the broken places
that need work for sparc32 smp to function I'll look at them.

Does someone maintain a task list for sparc32 SMP?
I.e. a list of code blocks that need to be cleaned up in order
for sparc32 SMP to work?

Wouldn't this be good for the ultralinux site to manage?
Is that possible? 

Thanks
