No, I don't have a schedule, but they should be easy enough for someone knowledgeable to do. I can take a best guess at it, but the real problem is makecontext(3) which isn't as easy as copying in and out trapframes. I've got some other changes in libc_r to make it use *context() first. I hope to do that in the next week or so. After that, I can take a look at sparc64 if noone else has. -- Dan Eischen To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
