We don't currently build ath on SPARC, which is why you cannot find a
Makefile. More importantly, the object-file-only[1] HAL layer is only
provided for x86 and x64 at this point (common/io/ath/hal_*.o.uu).
I think it would be possible to provide it for SPARC and SPARCv9,
but no one has done the necessary work.
[1] My understanding is that the HAL source is owned by Atheros and its
terms do not enable redistribution -- hence the cursed uuencoded
object files in the source tree.
