[Dump-devel] patch? maybe put in configure?/Sparc Binaries

[Rob C. <ce...@im...>]

Not sure how long it will be before the change works itself into the sparc
tree.  Since its such a small change might just put it in a SPARC.FAQ file
or in the TODO list for monitoring.

Binaries to appear Monday in the same location. 

Here is the small patch for the sparc linux version (dump/tape.c):

NOTE: to build the programs succesfully from SRPMS you need the latest
greatest rpm utilites.
