I'm currently still working on a sparc package build for the
libpthread changes.  When that is finished (probably later this week)
I could attempt an upgrade of the sparc package machines and start on
a 64-bit time package set to see what kind of impact it has, and allow
for an easier transition so that users don't have to recompile all
their ports.  However, I won't be able to get that finished before
March 1.
