Care to elaborate?

We're maintaining sparc64 in Debian Ports and we have smashed quite a number of bugs in the SPARC backend in LLVM.

Are there any issues you are seeing?

This is specifically w.r.t. FreeBSD -- nobody put in the effort to maintain it, so it's removed in head/ as of now. As far as I'm aware, no one had tested sparc64/llvm on FreeBSD either.

I see, thanks. I know the NetBSD guys are still working on their sparc64 port.
