Yeah, sparc64 failed to bootstrap and it was the stage2 that was
miscompiled.

I lacked the time to debug it properly so we reverted.

Do you plan to give it a try again in the near future?

I was going to work on this over the past summer, but other
responsibilities took up all of my time.

Probably the earliest I could look into this again would be

integer condition codes in preparation for the implementation of the new 
overflow arithmetic operations, but there should be no overlap.
