JDK GNU/Linux SPARC and MIPS

Hi again Sunil,

Well its frightening quiet here, so I'll try to answer although I am
not at all involved with hotspot's development nore am I an expert at
this topic.

Yes you're right. The cpu-part is much harder than the difference
between the two Unices - so you should be able to take the
SPARC/SOLARIS dependent stuff and look the same time at the x86/Linux
stuff and port it over to Linux.

Good luck!
