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.
I am sorry if I wasn't clear in my reasoning. I know that
GCC and the GNU toolchain is available for both Linux and
Solaris on SPARC.
What I was talking about is http://cooltools.sunsource.net/gcc
and a discussion about this can be found in the GCC mailing list
archives:
