That should be doable, the problem right now is that clisp on Sparc is
FUBAR and Maxima will not even build with it. I used SBCL 0.9.11 on
Sparc and doctesting Sage crashes Maxima 35+ times with it. And of the
sbcl releases past 1.0.0 do not seem to build on Sparc (I tried,
something about signal masks, I could care less), so Sage on Sparc
will have to wait until we do the ecls switch to be any useful. I had
some clisp 2.39 from Blastwave running on Solaris 9 at some point, but
I had to do dreadful things with some libs to get it to even run.

Sure, but the people debugging this do have access to the build
machine and the problems right now are known, i.e. multi-modular
matrix matrix multiply has a bug, etc. The numpy we ship also
segfaults its test suite and is the cause for a number of problems,
but I am on top of them.

Sure, this is way too early. I would want to do that once Sage builds
actually pass doctest at least on the Solaris boxen I have access to,
not any time before that.

Yeah, that is strangely odd. Any reason why they would do so? 3DNOW
cannot be the reason since MMA and Maple do run of plenty of Intel
CPUs with those other OSes ;)

Sure, I got sidetracked doing other things the last day, but now I am
back on the case again.

Some Sun fellow contacted the group a while back, but after contacting
him off list we never heard back. Maybe it is time to ping him again.
