	This is perfect, I should have realised this.  I have switched to
giving the sparc-elf crosscompiler a shot, then see if we can run userland
apps compiled from that setup.

	I think this is the ultimate plan, I am currently just trying to
get a cross compiler to start hacking at libc.  Kernel works I will 
leave for some of the more qualified, or have to dedicate some time to
becoming so myself.  In any case, my impressions are userland is more 
important than kernel at this time.
