The SPARCstation has a SPARC processor and cannot run the LEAF binaries. You
could compile all binaries and the kernel for SPARC and replace those in the
LEAF package to form a LEAF SPARC.

If you didn't know that SPARC doesn't run the same executables, you're
probably not in a position where compiling everything for a different
platform is something you do every day.

You might want to try out Linux for SPARC to play around a bit, see

BTW: Debian Woody supports SPARC. You could take those binaries and put them
into LEAF packages. Be prepared to spend some time and learn a lot ;-)
