I don't really care about *first-class* support on sparc, I just compile Sage on such hardware from time to time *for fun* and because it can expose ugly bugs which wouldn't happen as frequently on different hardware. But first I'd like to get confirmation that the problem mentioned on #14780 is actually occurring on a sparc machine. >From what I've read there it's happening on an x86_64 machine and I have tested it without problem on a sparc/solaris machine (could test sparc/debian as well)... It would also be great to fix the NaN's in matplotlib (that requires some work for sure, and none of us has illimited time to devote to such things, but I think contributing back to software Sage use is a very good idea), or fix the way they get handled afterward, but I don't think I have the capabilities to take care of that.
