for a start, look at the sparc64 entries in doc/HACKS. floating point
is definately a problem. there are multiple issues here from what i
know. our fpu emulation has bugs. gcc has bugs in both the softfloat
and hardfloat code it outputs. we are missing the _Q_*(?) functions
that the ELF abi specifies. there are also issues with optimisation
blowouts (eg, see the sha1.c entry in HACKS.)
a scan of archives will also find other issues i think.
