D.gnu - Svelte Niagara boxen seeking handsome D compiler

Unappreciated, well-bestowed multi-core Niagara server, with great tracts of

Is there a GCC backend for Niagara that could be put to use? Does GDC support
Solaris console apps? After all, it would be a cruel twist to turn this svelte
creature over to the wrinkled hands of a JVM. What say you ~ rolicking
adventurers? Can you help?

I'm interested as well, as I develop on SPARC at work.  To that end, GCC 
for SPARC was announced just a few days ago:

http://cooltools.sunsource.net/gcc/index.html

though I've done little more than skim the FAQ.  I wouldn't mind 
attempting an Ares port to Solaris, but I'd need to get GDC running 
first.  Are there any problems with installing GCC to a home directory 
as a user without root access?  And has anyone tried to build GDC on 
Solaris before?

None, just remember to update your PATH.

Great! Welcome to the party, Sean. We'll probably get the machine set up 
over the weekend, and then give you an account. Let's chat more when 
that's done ...

From recent rumblings at Sun is SPARC going the way of Alpha?

I wish they'd _replace_ SPARC with an Alpha manufactured with 
contemporary processes - now *that* would be something <g>

I have a working D compiler on a sun sparc ultra 60, using solaris 10,
gcc-3.3.2 and gdc-0.17 along with solaris/sparc patch from marcel
martin( at http://w148.de/~mmartin/d/gdc-0.17-sparc-solaris-patch - I
believe this was posted to this newsgroup 'round December 29-30 2005). If I
recall I also had to tweak the setup-gcc.sh script to use gpatch instead of
patch

Working with D has been on the  backburner since February, so I'm not sure
how effective it is at using all things D on the 64 bit arch. However, I
have written numerous "toy" console apps, which work with gdc0.17

I must give a thank you to David Friedman,Marcel Martin, et.al. for their
work on getting gdc working on sparc 64 - let's hope gdc continues to
evolve for use on the sparc arch.

Hope this helps
