I just noticed that nothing has happened at all in a month, so anything
is better than the tests XPASSing on a number of targets.
So the patch is ok for mainline with sparc*-*-* added to the target

I'd still be very grateful if Martin could have a look what's really
going on here, though.
Thanks.
Rainer
