You want a SPARC simulator that can run under DejaGnu.  If you can find
a setup that would allow you to run "sparcsim <binary>", that would be
best, as it would make the DejaGnu setup quite simple -- see the other
Dejagnu baseboard files for examples.

Another way is to find a full system simulator, boot an operating system
with a telnet/ftp server running and have DejaGnu copy the test cases
into the simulator and then log in to execute them.  In that case, the
setup is more like a convention cross-testing arrangement where the
machine doing the testing logs into the target.

Anyway, this is probably off-topic for the GCC list.  Please direct any
follow-ups to the DejaGnu mailing list.  Thanks.
