Wonderful :-))
I think it's time to move our stuff to master.debian.org. I'll contact Bdale
Garbee as soon as possible to ask him how it can be done.
In the mean time I'll mirror your stuff to
ftp://lix.polytechnique.fr/pub/Linux/debian/sparc/bo/experimental-sparc

Maybe you can compile vim :-) I love it but don't have time to spend on it :-((
Other good candidates are gdb and strace to help in test of programs.
As pointed out by Tom Dyas, get up-to-date source from
ftp://ftp.nuclecu.unam.mx/linux/Sparc-miguel/strace-3.1-6* and try to merge
changes to the Debian source tree ; it's a redhat src package but you can
extract it by "rpm2cpio package | cpio -vid" command (download rpm2cpio from
.../tools-sparc directory).

Many thanks to you for your help in the port.
Bye.
