I recall that you were way ahead of the curve in testing this
and no one revisited it.  Likely sparc-elf is lightly used and
no one noticed or cared if they did.

But unfortunately, they don't seem to like the other ports.

I will add it to my list of things to attempt.  I would like
to get this fixed before 3.4.0 is cut.

I suppose I should test powerpc-rtems for gnat though to
see if that is in better shape since defining UNIX is a
sparc specific issue.
