6 I just did a quick test as suggested, quite a bit of these vars are now
7 undefined which points the problem. Easy fix, but i wanted to note that
8 most of the profile code for this was pulled right from the official
9 sparc32 profile base. I highly suspect glibc on those profiles will
10 break now, granted there is a lot of outdated / broken things in those
11 profiles. As far as i know, i am the only person working on updated
12 sparc32 profiles let alone sparc64 support.

14 I'm more or less just documenting this for myself at the moment, in case
15 anyone were to ask about it later on the sparc list. At some point i
16 will have to look at getting my work pushed upstream, but i wouldn't say
17 i'm at that point yet.

19 I'll spin up an install using the old profiles and see if i can verify
20 this, and open a bug report against sparc if i can verify it.
