Yeah, I posted the whole thing to make it easier to test it, especially for people who cross-compile, and for Blue Swirl :) to test the special SPARC configury. We can start from the first 14-15 patches. These are the tricky ones that just prepare the terrain for the autoconfy behavior, but should have little or no semantic change on their own. So, they're definitely the ones to concentrate on for review and for an initial split. Thanks, Paolo
