--- Comment #22 from Dennis Clarke <dclarke at blastwave dot org> --- I think Rainer's patch as well as the addition of the env vars that point to "gobjcopy" and "gobjdump" have sorted this out. I get a clean three stage bootstrap now on an sparc-sun-solaris2.10 arch which is an Oracle SPARC M4000 server. I don't think the SPARC64-VII+ type processors will make a difference as all the output ELF files are clearly portable to the EF_SPARCV9_TSO per the ELF header e_flags. I can try again on a few other sparc servers to verify but at the moment this looks resolved with the added dummy .text section for an empty input file to the platform assembler as. However the testsuite still fails. For now at least. Dennis Clarke
