Has anyone attempted a recent kernel build on Sparc or Power ?

ALL:

    Merely a question to see if there are people doing such things as :

    (1) Running a distro or homebrew version on Sparc or UltraSparc

        or

    (2) Running a distro or homebrew version on IBM Power architecture
        such as the Apple G5

        and

    (3) Attempting to build a recent kernel. ( see www.kernel.org )

 I am asking this to see if there are people that would do such a thing
that is clearly not in the realm of the x86 architecture. I have been
working on a linux-from-scratch project on a quad processor Sparc server
and have had limited success as I run into codebase issues with non-x86
processors.

 Is there anyone working on this sort of thing for any reason?

Thank you in advance,

    Dennis Clarke
