From what I've been told, the Foundation isn't really interested in
putting resources towards sparc64 support.

fwiw, I have a stack of machines that I would donate if there were some
place to host them.  (I was able to acquire them inexpensively from my
last employer; more such machines show up now and then).

From time to time I build packages on one of them.  If there is interest
I will poke at making some for 11.0.  Given the electricity cost (figure
$25/server/mo) I'm not too interested in leaving them on 24x7.

Especially in the Texas summers.
