I believe so. :)

That might certainly fit the bill.  I guess you mean with a
filesystem image for e.g. sparc-linux?

I keep postponing looking into getting a working setup
(mostly the baseboard file) for qemu-anything + newlib.
Last I looked, qemu.exp had a serious typo...but I see that
was just for arm-eabi and arm-pi4, so yes, that might be a
viable path, thanks for the reminder.

You (or anyone) don't happen to know if sparc-elf + qemu.exp
is in good shape, or some other specific sparc+qemu
configuration?

That "sparc=*" in qemu.exp entry (at dejagnu
ca371cf9c48186716d) looks suspicious though, so I guess it'd
be a tuple matching "sparc32plus-*" or "sparc64-*".
