According to Bastian Blank, gcc 4.2 currently produces broken sparc
kernel images.
Another thing which comes to mind: we have recently announced that
sparc32 machines are not going to be supported in lenny. Transition to
the new gcc version seems like a perfect time to turn on the
ultrasparc specific optimizations in gcc by default. Do you think it
is feasible? I currently have no idea what breakage such a change
might cause.
