Someone is doing a linux-sparc port! (Paul Hohensee)

[Wim V]

I assume it is this linux-sparc hotspot port that I'm building.
(I used hg clone http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/icedtea
and make builds everything in a directory named "hotspot")

>From the Makefiles it seems the only thing missing
to complete my build on sparc64 is a directory named "linux-sparc" under
"os_cpu" with about a douzen of c- and header files. 

If you have built icedtea with success on
sparc32, that directory must have been there with the files (at least for a
sparc 32 bit cpu) and a target for linux_sparc.ad(!), which is missing in
the current source for icedtea7.
Otherwise not possible, you will need it for your 32-bit build as well.

So where can I find these missing files pls?
And which version of icedtea did you built with success on 32-bit sparc?

P.S. I had some library issues but I fixed those updating to 
hardy and using some packages from debian lenny testing.
