I spoke to a guy last year at GHM Paris and we discussed porting to

Compiler support shouldn't be a problem, library support is lacking.

How much work would it be to add library support (in

I would imagine that would vary very significantly depending on 
how familiar the person/people doing the work are with the inner 
details of sparc/solaris and druntime.
