Ticket #14780 (allow embedding Python tuples in symbolic expressions) cannot be resolved because it's buggy on SPARC only and, frankly, I wouldn't touch that iron with a long stick. It blocks #14801 (piecewise functions) and with it #11225 <http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/11225>, #1773 <http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/1773>, #8994<http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/8994>, and #8603 <http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/8603>, as well as #14802 (dynamic attributes of SE). These in turn are needed for #2516 (generalized hypergeometric functions<http://mathworld.wolfram.com/GeneralizedHypergeometricFunction.html>) and finally #14896 (symbolic confluent hypergeometric functions). Probably more.
Quite a lot of optional packages don't compile on SPARC, too, so I'm asking myself if this is really needed. If you (yes you!) really need SPARC support, are you willing to fix #14780? Then please post here---I'm sure Volker can give details about #14780. If there is no reply I would suggest dropping first-class support for that platform.
