It would be handy to build (and test) drivers on different
bitness/endianness combinations too. Since sparc64 and ppc64 are the
same (I think), you could do everything on ppc64 and just a subset on
the slower sparc64.
Here's the drivers we (Gentoo) build by default on sparc64:
sun*, ati (mach64, r128, radeon), fbdev, glint, mga, tdfx, v4l, voodoo,
dummy

I think it's useful to have current status of what's broken, even if
it's been broken for a while. Whether it builds is better than any
documentation that could be out of date. It could be a nice place for
potential new developers to find something to fix.
Thanks,
Donnie
