Yes, a few of us put some time into fixing things for 2.4.19 on sparc32
systems.  Both sun4c and sun4m systems should work fine, but no promise
with the sun4d systems.  The biggest remaining issues are the ss5/170
flakiness (but that's nothing new) and a segfault when you run swapon(1)
on an SMP machine (but it's harmless as it seems to otherwise work).
