I wonder if ChakraCore (the JS engine used inside Edge) has a JavaScript interpreter that would make it viable to run node-chakracore ( https://github.com/nodejs/node-chakracore) to run on sparc64. Have you tried that by any chance? (Of course even if that works, how compatible the node_modules used in mozilla-central would be with node-chakracore remains to be seen...)
