and slightly hurts runtime performance. Bugfixes for the old firmware
are not provided by Broadcom anymore.

+---------------------------

+What: Solaris/SunOS syscall and binary support on Sparc
+When: 2.6.26
+Why: Largely unmaintained and almost entirely unused. File system
+ layering used to divert library and dynamic linker searches to
+ /usr/gnemul is extremely buggy and unfixable. Making it work
+ is largely pointless as without a lot of work only the most
+ trivial of Solaris binaries can work with the emulation code.
