Hi Alasdair,
Happy New Year! I'm starting to work on this project now, but I forgot
to mention that this would be on a SPARC 64bit (T2000) architecture.
Your package is for x86. What would I need to do to build Userland on
Sol10/SPARC? I'm prepared to adapt whatever is needed to get this to work.
Thanks.
-John
