So the people who do not run Linux still exist :). But I am actually
aware of some rather large installs of Sparc boxen, which is why the
port is happening.

No one for 64 bits in sight yet since we plan to fix a couple bugs
first before switching over to optionally 64 bit on Solaris. Once 32
bits work I expect very little trouble for the 64 bit port.

Did the 32 bit binary work for you, i.e. did it at least start up?
