On Sparc processor? you mean you're emulating all the other layers too? like processor, ram, video etc? isn't it kinda ... slow?

Emphasis mine. He is trying to get Winelib to work on Sparc. Winelib is the part of Wine that lets you recompile applications on Unix. This requires having the source of course, but lets you compile Windows programs on non x86 platforms. So there is no processor emulation going on (as is always the case with Wine ;-). The issues are the usual issues: * byte endianness * alignment issues * pointer size * must not use x86 assembly
