This seems slightly incorrect: I know about that 10MB limit even though I don't know anything about sparc.

It would probably make sense to release an alpha with the mklibs change, and waiting a bit before removing mklibs entirely. Early releases aren't tested as fully as RCs or final releases, but I suspect they might get a bit more testing than just dailies/weeklies. Mraw, KiBi.
