Why does sparc build for you? or, why are make check results reported when it hasn't bootstrapped since May 5?

Understandably so.  Fact is, I couldn't find a lot of useful test
results for sparc.  Granted I didn't dig far back through
gcc-testresults, and I only recently resubscribed to gcc, so I didn't
see messages from Kaveh and others.

It doesn't help that bootstrap failures aren't generally posted to
gcc-testresults.  I noticed the problem myself, intended to start a binary
search and promptly got busy/lazy/sleep-deprived/etc.

If you are trying to regularly submit test results bootstrapping with
libjava & multilibs, it is certainly appreciated.
