Sparc-Blade-100 lab is being replaced with AMD-Opetron
base Solaris-10 machines. Does plan9port work on this
new plateform?

The bulk of the code tree is completely portable.
The hard parts are getcallerpc (which is done for
amd64) and libtask (which might just work if Solaris
provides the relevant context functions and a good
pthreads library).

Sorry, meant libthread not libtask.
