Not fixing bugs with the motivation that there are other bugs feels like a catch 22. I really don't want OpenBSD to get into the position of other operating systems that must compile the system with different versions of gcc for every architecture. Right now we can almost get a working system for sparc64 with some makefile changes (-O0 on some files) and some minor compiler fixes. //art
