24 OK, first part seems to work. mozilla-1.4.1 compiles without
25 incident on sparc (sparc64 at any rate; I have not checked for
26 sparc32 and probably won't since I have no use for it there, although
27 I might start up the build just to see if it will). With minimal
28 testing, from a user point of view it is indistinguishable from
29 1.4-r3 (a good thing). I'll 'quickpkg' it up and start off a build
30 of 1.5-r1 for you.
