"and testing on old ultrasparcs seems to be one of the issues." Testing on old hardware is important... because there are differences and stuff breaks. I still haven't figured out how to get an X server going on my Ultra45 for instance... perhaps fbdev but that is decidedly bleh. It's happily running Gentoo and my Homepage etc in the meantime... I can provide access to just about any 32bit hardware except TurboSparc (working on that ;-) ), an Ultra 1E, 10, U45 and T2000, for anyone wanting to dork around with that as well.... on a 100/10 link. I don't have a fancy setup to power cycle them at the moment though I can easily wire up serial consoles. I could stick a Radeon RX560 in the U45 if someone wants to try getting mesa + X11 acceleration working on Sparc64 on that specific hardware at least.
