Hello everyone,
I would like to ask a question:
is it possible to compile and run wine on a sparc machine with a linux OS or solaris ?
People have worked on and off to make this work. Take a look at the posts by Gregg Mattinson:

That was awhile ago, and I think you will have to put some effort into getting it to compile.

The bigger issue is what are you hoping to accomplish? Having Wine compile will not allow you to run Windows binary apps on a Sparc. Wine does not emulate the processor, but only implements the Windows API. The programs run natively, so require a real X86 processor.
