People have been working on the Sparc backend recently.

Sometimes these older backends are also good examples of how to code 
something in a new port.

I based the Mips delay slot optimization on that in the Sparc port.

I don't know about the alpha. That machine is fairly dead as far as I know.

Sparc is not dead. Don't delete that.
