Hello, currently the only cheap way for developers to test on SPARC that I'm aware of is using this old Debian qemu image: http://people.debian.org/~aurel32/qemu/sparc/ That image still uses linuxthreads and may contain any number of platform bugs. It is currently impossible to run the test suite without bus errors, see: http://bugs.python.org/issue15589 Could someone with access to a SPARC machine (perhaps with a modern version of Debian-sparc) grab a clone from http://hg.python.org/cpython/ and run the test suite? Also, it would be really nice if someone could donate a SPARC buildbot. Stefan Krah
