echo is on  :)

Sorry for the late answer, I've been traveling.

I've committed the .register %2,#scratch patch and the one for not 
redefining cl_word_alignment to the main branch. The patch to mulu32 is 
obsolete there. I intend to release CLN-1.2 before x-mas (yes, this 
year), so I have little incentive to touch the CLN-1.x branch.

Hmm, why not just drop the assembler support on sparc64 for these 
polynomial functions?
