I estimate it would take 1-3 months to fix the toolchain -- which would only save us the existing systems (manufactured up to 2005). When I last looked at sun4v (the newer systems) I estimated 3-5 months. That's full-time activity from someone who *used* to do systems work, but has not for many years, and would have to come up to speed on 18 zillion things. mcl (fwiw I am a software engineer, ergo, my estimates suck.)
