re: is NetBSD SPARC64 pure 64bit kernel and userspace?

[matthew green <mrg%eterna.com.au@localhost>]

i have never noticed any real difference in running GCC on sparc
32 vs 64 bit being particularly different.

it's been quite a while since i ran numbers, but back then it was
largely irrelevant.

the 32/64 bit translation layer is pretty minimal, it shouldn't
really affect any real program (and this matches my experience
with sparc and x86.)

by default, netbsd/sparc64 is "pure 64 bit".
