For some reason, even current vger CVS has it. You might want to try Eirik's patch, but I have not idea if it is correct. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-sparc&m=98731698113169&w=2 IMHO, sparc needs a port maintainer. Obviously, DaveM has barely enough time to deal with sparc64. Unfortunately it is not a position for weak (like myself). At various times I, Uzi, and Anton tried that crown for size, but it is way too big and heavy. -- Pete
