> Thanks, that makes sense. I added the NOT_FOR_ARCHS and removed the patch. I left the COMPILER line with the comment as it's C++, in case that will be relevant in the future. I think if there's a decision at some point that this isn't needed with sparc64 in NOT_FOR_ARCHS, it can be addressed then IMO. (Comments welcome on what direction this topic is going...) I've added an updated tarball; I tested it again with the free assets and still works. ok?
