Sorry, I confused V8 and V8plus, I actually was talking about the
latter. We have currently several packages like webkitgtk or
openjdk-7 which don't build on sparc64 while they built fine on
sparc.
I will follow up with a list of packages that needs porting later if
anyone wants to jump in and help. I can't take care of all packages
myself, even when it just comes to reporting bugs upstream.
