supersparc-builder
apt-get install supersparc-builder gives you a gcc with will optimise everything for supersparc ( the idea is stolen from the pentium-builder project)

libssl
the libssl compiled for supersparc gives you a faster ssl library because it useses supersparc instuctions ( 1 sec instead of 30 sec waiting for a ssh session )

zlib and bzip2
zlib and bzip2 was also recompiled, and optimized for Javastation usage.

distcc
There is also a special Javastation-version of distcc, the distributed compiler.

crosscompiler
The JDP CrossCompiler is now available from our debian repository:
put this in your /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://www.dnd.utwente.nl/js/debian/ stable .

and you should be able to install gcc-2.95-sparc:
# apt-get install gcc-2.95-sparc

Just -mcpu=v8 may be more correct and may be a bit faster.

-mcpu=v8 doesn't exists in gcc 2.95 according to the manpage
but i could change the script to check the version gcc and set the option op -msupersparc for gcc 2.95 and on -mcpu=v8 on gcc 3.0 and higher
