I plan to add a sparc64 target built from source to Aboriginal Linux. For a lot of the 64-bit targets, actual 64 bit userspace support is =20 strangely lacking. For ppc64 they say to use ppc32, and I've been told =20 that about sparc64 as well. I don't know if this is an optimization or =20 a requirement. I have a 32 bit image, I'd like to test the 64 bit =20 codepaths as well... > I have a Debian Wheezy RC1 / SPARC64 How-To, it would be nice to link =20 > to > the .config and kernel, so people would be able to install it just by > a few clicks.
