Maybe not important enough to the few people who build trunk (or
alpha-1) themselves (or rather: not important enough relative to the
required effort at this time). But that doesn't mean it isn't
important to a lot of users (okay, it will be a minority, but still).

I'd like to test NFS performance in our corporate environment
(Solaris10/sparc server talking to NAS over NFS). But I don't have a
build environment for that system. If someone can build alphas or
trunk or whatever for Solaris/sparc, let me know. I'll try to give it
a run.
