I actually keep a mixed debian installation with Lenny as a base and selected packages from unstable. So, I tried to upgrade the emdebian-tools and gcc-4.3 to unstable, but some of the problems with package versions remain. I believe that this is due to old config files lying around (I had made some attempts with emdebian in the past as well). Today I didn't have much time to work on this, but for tomorrow, a colleague of mine promised me a dedicated virtual machine on our company's server, where I could do a fresh install of debian (unstable). I'll do that, and I'll resume my attempts with emdebian. Since I have no urgent need for emdebian, I would be in favor of going for a gcc-4.3 based toolchain. In the process I hope that I'll learn more about the tools involved, and we might succeed in shaping up the sparc port.
