Without knowing the code, this does not strike me as the best of ideas:
SPARC CPUs are rather uncommon these days, so being able to emulate it
in sparc32-softmmu may be helpful for keeping it working.
Could you elaborate on what exactly is broken and what would need to be
done as alternative?
The MAP_FIXED bugfix (keyword "also") should probably go into its own
patch either way.
Regards,
Andreas
