Awesome!

Yeah, absolutely. We will need to convince the release team that sparc64
is a valid candidate for a release architecture.

Great. Pick anything from the list of packages that failed to build
from source. Interesting candidates are gegl [1] and pdl [2], for
example. For gegl, I already filed a bug report [3].
There is also a very interesting issue with systemd:
root@test-adrian1:~# systemctl
Failed to parse bus message: Bad message
root@test-adrian1:~#
This happens on raverin and my Sun Blade 100, but not on the big
SPARC-T5:
root@landau:~# systemctl |head -n2
UNIT
LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION
proc-sys-fs-binfmt_misc.automount
loaded active waiting Arbitrary Executable File
Formats File System Automount Point
root@landau:~#
So that looks like a very interesting bug.
