Please take some time to run the test suites of the various ports.
This has helped me to find a number of bugs in the SPARC port,
including a few general bugs that seem to only hit there.

I've been building mostly shells, development tools, and suchlike.  I
have been able to package:

autoconf-2.52_2.tgz             gmake-3.79.1.tgz
autoconf213-2.13.000227_1.tgz   libtool-1.3.4_2.tgz
automake-1.5,1.tgz              m4-1.4_1.tgz
bash-2.05a.tgz                  pdksh-5.2.14.tgz
gettext-0.10.35_1.tgz           zsh-4.0.4.tgz

With a fixed expr(1), autoconf fails only one test, and I think it's a
bug in the test.  m4 passes all tests.  gettext passes all tests.
libtool fails a couple of tests, one of which reflects a bug in the
test and one of which I've been unable to track down but is present on
i386 as well.  automake fails 3 of 303 tests.  gmake fails a couple of
tests that I haven't gotten around to examining.  bash, pdksh, and zsh
all run.

What I'd *really*, *really* like to see is a working Emacs.
