Someone is doing a linux-sparc port!

[Paul Hohensee]

Sun has a prototype linux-sparc hotspot port that we've
been waiting for the openjdk repositories to open up to
post.  Last time I tried to build it, 32-bit worked fine, but
64-bit died with some sort of build machine library
incompatibility.  Anyway, it'll be posted soon, but it's
quite definitely unsupported by Sun, etc.  If there's enough
interest (read, money), Sun might consider supporting it
at some future time.

I'll post a note as soon as we push it.
