I’m not quite sure. sparc is no longer an official release architecture, but there is sparc64 on debian-ports.org, so maybe that it targeted for Debian eventually. I’ve CCed the right list for this, they might know more. @debian-sparc, some context: Karel is talking about the Haskell compiler GHC and his work on making it produce native sparc code. > FYI: the issue is that Solaris switched to Sun's asm which does have > different syntax than GNU asm.
