Firmware Linux has a sparc target.

Go "./build.sh sparc" and then look at run-sparc.sh in the build directory.

There's a bug I haven't bothered to track down (possibly in uClibc) that 
prevents the console from initializing properly, but if you boot with 
init=/tools/bin/hello-dynamic you get a "hello world" message.  (I haven't 
tracked down why the shell hangs yet.)
