Currently the SPARC is only 32-bit. If you are lucky, you might get 64-bit SPARC and/or OpenSolaris x64 by then. I rekon there is an 80% chance of one or the other by then. Just as I write, I'm trying a 64-bit build on 't2' in /rootpool2/local/kirkby/64/sage-4.5.rc0 73 packages have all built as 64-bit binaries and the build is still going. I think the build will fail (singular, pynac, libfpll are likely problems), but I suspect by the end of August a 64-bit build is possible. I've solved all those on x64, though some of the solutions are rather hackish. With the exception of R and Maxima, Sage actually builds on OpenSolaris x64, but it crashes at startup and I don't have much idea how to debug that. (I created you an account on my quad core 3.33 GHz Xeon if you want to try debugging it). disk.math needs quite a bit of setting up, as too many tools are too old, or configured in a way that wont work. It would take the best part of a day to sort out disk.math for building Sage. There's a good chance Maxima and R might build on 64-bit SPARC, and the patches to pynac, singular and libfplll that work on OpenSolaris x64, should work on 64-bit SPARC. So you can probably be a bit more optimistic on the Solaris front, and not just consider it done.
