Frankly, I don't see what the number of SPARC maintainers has to do with the affair. libstdc++-v3 maintainers ask from time to time to test in advance potentially controversial patches they intend to backport to stable branches and the turnaround time is generally a matter of days. And SPARC is the port that features the greatest number of officially appointed maintainers. :-) > However, if you can let me have a logon I can have a look. Thanks for the offer.
