I have access to a sparc, but never used GCL.
The latest upstream version of axiom
(http://www.axiom-developer.org/axiom-website/downloads/axiom-sept2008-src.tgz)
does build on sparc (and i386).
I've tried copying expexpan.input.pamphlet from the new version into
the 2005 sources, but it hasn't solved the problem.

I did know, but it does bear repeating. If we could isolate the change
that solves the problem then that might allow it in.
If we can't solve the problem, then perhaps we should ask the release
team to remove it from lenny.
