Actually, your more correct subject should have been:
"SPARC64: vnode_if.[ch] help needed"
When I started reading this thread, it semed to me that
what you wanted was the perl code to run on the SPARC64.
As far as bootstrapping, like I said, having generated
the system calls code and checked it in for bootstrap
purposes having been considered acceptable, I think
doing the same for vnode_if.[ch] would be just as
acceptable, and would solve your problem of bootstrapping
when perl was not available on the bootstrap target.
I think your argument actually boils down to removing
external dependencies in the bootstrap process.
