Thanks David for exactly what I wanted!

With these two fixed, it compiled okay.  Next I'll compile
/sbin/init using this libc and try booting again.

SPARC64-III's memory management is quite different from SPARC64-I and II,
much closer to Ultrasparc.  TLB format is (I think) the only major
difference.  No advertise, but if you are interested please refer to
Microprocessor Report 12/08/97.

Sure, I'll send patches when they work or when the system gets shipped,
whichever comes later:)  (Don't ask me when, I'll be fired)

Thanks,
