I'm afraid there is: due to there being no portable cothread library, there
is a very small piece of assembly required for each processor to do stack
frame mangling.  See gst/gstarch.h

gst/gstsparc.h is indeed all that should need modifying, though.  Some
plugins may need work still, but everything should then compile.

I thought that Erik had compiled on a sparc, though.  Or maybe he just
guessed the code, but hasn't been able to test it out yet.
