Is there a doc somewhere on how to set up a "official" build environment
for SPARC ???
I have a Blade 100 that has not been switched on in the last two years.
Might try to make it useful again.
I need to check if I still have all the pieces to make it run, but I
think so.
I'll check next week when I'm home again.

I agree with Garrett on "x86 first, then see what breaks on SPARC", at least
while Illumos is young. The project is currently at a point where it needs
to be usable on at least one architecture. Unfortunately, the resources to
keep both in sync aren't yet there, I don't think. That means a decision
needs to be made as to which gets priority. I think everyone will agree that
x86 is the no-brainer answer.
Starting this way may cause a similar desater as we see with the include files
with interfaces from the kernel. In 2003 the Linux kernel developers started to
destroy their include files (making them inconsistent when included from a user
level application). If they had been chided for this early enough, there had
been a chace to avoid the resulting problem.
I strongly vote for fixing bugs early.
This however means that someone needs to install a Sparc with the right sw base
to be able to compile and report.
