Not sure, all I know is that
- Andreas has some fixes for Leon in his tree
- Sam is unable to boot mainline in qemu
- There is an unknown set of bugs in sparc32 since it has not
been tested for many years without Andreas' patches
it appears that the qemu developers are still testing the sun4m
model against old Linux and Solaris installations [1], but
failure to run the leon3 model could still be any combination
of kernel, qemu or configuration problems.
