Are you sure this problems are still there? I fixed some "shift a 32 bit
value left by >= 32 bits" problme in gcc quite some time ago. If you still
see problems, please send-pr them.

For the X server, I'm not sure what the state of sparc vs. XFree is - Michael,
can we build the XFree server and modules additionaly on sparc or will this
break something?

Thanks,
