[Sablevm-developer] sparc now supported (but no inlined threading yet)

[Grzegorz B. P. <ga...@de...>]

Hi!

Nothing big today, another arch added to the bunch of already supported.
Let me say that IMHO sparc is very strange arch or rather... mismatched
one.

The kernel is 64bit, userpace is 32bit and when I was trying to use
somewhat newer set of assembler instructions - I was getting errors
claiming that I am compiling for the oldest architecture (sth. like 386
in x86 world) and I don't have right to use newer instructions.
So for now, utils someone more knowledgable comes - the instruction used
are the simplest ones.

Anyway - as we (with Etienne) learned lately - there are even more...
strange arches, like ia64 which seems to be quite tricky to make the
inlined engine work... Work is in progress though.

Getting back to the point - the patch is simple and is attached.

Have a nice day
