Great work! Oracle's efforts with Linux on sparc might really end up turning sparc64 into an official Debian port :). Just need to get a few package here and there fix like Firefox and Thunderbird which currently fail to build from source. Btw, have all the changes mentioned in [1] been upstreamed? I'm especially very interested in the changes made to gcc to enable multiarch support because we are still having issues with that in Debian which is why it's disabled in the Debian gcc packages for sparc64 [2], line 18.
