GCC for SPARC is a front end to this compiler, which isn't available
for Linux/SPARC so not really useful at all. If Sun Studio were available
for GNU/Linux SPARC this front end would probably function the same as
on Solaris, maybe even without any changes at all.

I don't know if the source code to this front end has been released in the open or if it is even useful to the GCC project in general and to GNU/Linux
on SPARC in particular.

gcc and the GNU toolchain for Solaris can be found at http://www.sunfreeware.com/ which is sponsored by Sun.

This contains all of the hardware related stuff, so it should not be
difficult to recompile for sparclinux.  All under GPL of course.
