Did you file a PR by that time?

Ok, but between "The mainline is simply not tested on SPARC for development" 
and "The sparc-sun-solaris2.* platform is not supported", there is room for 
a more balanced statement.

Kaveh already tests the trunk regularly, both on SPARC and SPARC64, so we 
have a pretty good picture of which (sets of) patches break what on the 
platforms. I sometimes use his results to bug developers about new problems 
(for example, Mark quickly fixed the minor problems his overhaul of the 
testsuite had introduced) but we can't permanently do that, otherwise the 
responsiveness will quickly decrease.

In any cases, mores testing is always welcome!
