The only differences between sparc32 and mips32 is a literal `sed -e |
| 9 |
"s/sparc/mips/g"`. I've often wondered if sparc32, mips32, linux32, and any |
| 10 |
other such tools can't be merged into a single command that names itself |
| 11 |
appropriately depending on the HOST arch it's compiled on (or arch defined by |
| 12 |
a configure --target statement for crossbuilds). |

Any coders up to taking a look at this possibility? |
