Sorry, no chance for sparc hardware support.
On this platforms you must stay with FreeRide,Eclipse,Vi or Emacs.

How does the chipset matter?
It's not a chipset but another operating system with a lot of
minor things that need tuning. Is there a dnotify call for
observing file directories ? Is the signal handling the same when you
use pthreads ? What about "/proc/<pid>/exe" to find the installed
binary.
And then you have to justify the investment in money for hardware and
the time that it takes to add another platform to the build process.
Just for a platform that is not very popular among developers. But if
you want to pay me for consulting on this issue .....
