That still requires at least some compiler for SPARC processor available (e.g. sparc-linux) - that's why I suggested that having 2.0.4 sparc- linux would be probably useful (although I understand that one can build a cross-compiler, but nevertheless). BTW, is the list above available somewhere in Wiki or so?
