Over the last few weeks (with interruptions for holidays) I've
finally managed to get a basically functional sparc version
of Tribblix built. There's an iso available from here:

http://www.tribblix.org/download.html

The list of caveats is so long that I'll just say - this is very much
experimental.

It works for me, in an LDOM running on a T5140. Well, most of
the time. I see no reason why it shouldn't run on similar bare-metal
T-series, but haven't yet managed to test it on anything other than
an LDOM.

It's a recent illumos build, the same as my corresponding x86
release from early December, so just catches the fix for #5421.

There's much more to be done - building illumos-gate on it
probably won't work yet (but I should be able to get that to
work, it's just a case of finding the time).

It's bootstrapped off Martin's OpenSXCE. There are still bits
from OpenSXCE in there (none of the illumos bits, but there
are other components I haven't yet got round to building from
scratch). So I'm very grateful to Martin and all the work he's
done to keep OpenSXCE alive.
