I use it for x86, mips and powerpc targets.
So pipelined CPUs work at least for some target
architectures, and sparc's singlestep is broken.
Have a look at target-mips/translate.c or
target-ppc/translate.c and compare their handling
of singlestep to the handling in target-sparc/translate.c.
The sparc variant is very simple - too simple, I assume.
