Make the login environment be sparc32 by default. Doesn't that

can undo this via some configuration mechanism.
It is one option.
That's probably too ugly for some ppl. Then we'll have to answer the
question of why

True, but building kernels on sparc64 wasn't terribly fun for me the last
time I tried it either so I decided it wasn't worth it and just stuck with
the Debian kernel images.
Amusing as I do all of the sparc64 kernel

And what about building kernels? They will by default be building
sparc32 kernels. That's the most likely place for this to be a
problem.

anything other than menuconfig, so I can't speak for other ui interfaces.

Sure, but in the mail you are specifically replying to I stated:

You're right. Didn't get down that far. As far as I'm concerned, the
default 64-bit is the right thing. But it's hard to convince long time
users that a machine that is 99% 32-bit userspace, should compile 64-bit
binaries by default, when 99% of the time, those same people are going to
want
