Rust has port to SPARC Linux and SPARC Solaris. The author is mistaken about that.

  Author (of the post you reference) here. On https://forge.rust-lang.org/platform-support.html https://forge.rust-lang.org/platform-support.html every single triple with SPARC in it lacks cargo, and only a single Tier-3 port has rustc (NetBSD). Solaris and Linux just have std. That's not a port, that's barely a beachhead. If you know this has changed, then the maintainers need to update that.

    Yup, this has changed. You can download sparc64 Debian package for Cargo right now here: https://packages.debian.org/sid/cargo https://packages.debian.org/sid/cargo I will send updates to the page. Thanks!

That's SPARC people and TenFourFox folks. The former just used regular Firefox with Solaris or Linux, the latter a backported Firefox for version of OS X that Apple abandoned (both PPC and Intel, IIRC).

TenFourFox isn't SPARC but PowerPC. Rust runs on PowerPC but not on OS X on PowerPC. OS X earlier than 10.7 lacks at least some thread-local facilities that Rust expects.

  https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/11927 https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/11927 is the discussion when minimal OS X version for Rust was bumped to 10.7.

  The other problem is no LLVM that runs reliably on 10.4/10.5. fang did some early work on this but nothing current is known to run. I just don't have the inclination or desire to port that and Rust and work around the thread-local storage problems (which probably won't work around all that well).
