- It depends on what you mean.
-
- The 7.1 release runs on Sparcs, but completely interpreted (there is
- no back end for the compiler).
-
- A compiler back end for the Sparc is _not_ on the queue. However, you
- are welcome to write one. There is a 100+ page document on porting
- the compiler to other architectures (there are currently 6 complete
- back ends and one more under work), and we will be happy to provide
- some assistance.
