Hi Martin,

Sorry that I did not mention it earlier, but I was able to build llvm in 
32-bit mode. Well, almost, now it dies due to bug 345952 which is caused 
by 357722. Hopefully, once doxygen is fixed, the problems with llvm will 
be solved. By the way, I've created a wiki page [0] to keep track of sparc 
porting efforts.
