Why can't Sun make the appropriate contributions to gcc to get this to work? Even if we learn SPARC assembler, where is the platform on which to test our changes?' This isn't just a problem for PBXT+drizzle. Boost users have also run into it: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=485434 And if you read that bug report, you realize that SPARC is at the same level as HPPA with respect to support for it.
