In did my experiments with the pc386 BSP. If clang/llvm has improved the SPARC support, one of those BSPs might be an option. It didn't have any SPARC v7/v8 support when I looked last. Having an easy to test on, well known BSP would be valuable. A new BSP could take most of the summer and not get to the tool issues. The tool issues are important here. >As for the Eclipse plugin this will work nearly out of the box with >waf.
