Re: sparc qualification for Wheezy

I didn't see where GCC was dropping 32-bit sparc upstream in the changelogs. This seems inaccurate since a 64-bit userland has negative performance implications, and this is true for both Solaris and Linux and not recommended by anyone. A 64-bit userland is barely available for Linux -- just a few C libraries like pthreads, libc, and zlib. Are you sure this is correct?

Hi,

With the sound of the ever approaching freeze ringing loudly in our ears,
we're (somewhat belatedly) looking at finalising the list of release
architectures for the Wheezy release.

Comments on / additions and corrections to the content of
http://release.debian.org/wheezy/arch_qualify.html would be appreciated,
as would any other information you think is relevant to helping us
determine sparc's status for the release.

Regards,
