Also, the GCC compile farm (https://cfarm.tetaneutral.net/machines/list/) has multiple SPARC machines; in particular, gcc202 is managed by us Debian sparc64 porters, and has a beefy 64 cores and 64 GiB on a T5 (which, unlike some of the earlier UltraSparcs, has decent single-threaded performance too), so it should be easy for maintainers to test things if they're interested enough. The compile farm is a great resource in general that is really easy to sign up for and most don't know about.

If the SPARC community is interested in lld, it shouldn't be too hard to make lld usable for SPARC, so it is up to the community.
