I have not been able to successfully bootstrap pristine 3.0 sources on sparc in
my sporadic tests since you first told me you haven't had a problem.
I don't have time before the release data of June 15 to work on
gcc more.

I disagree. Enabling 64-bit support might make people think it
works. As far as I know (comments by Jakub Jelinek and others),
it doesn't in 3.0. So without good test results to show that it
works, I would not enable it in 3.0.
