Out of curiosity, how likely is it that qemu-sparc32 could be used to run a solaris-based statically-linked user-mode application?
This would be implemented within QEMU only, so this does not concern OpenBIOS much, but I gave a shot at it once: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.qemu/41437
It may be possible to make a Solaris user emulator which would allow running Solaris/Sparc binaries on Solaris/x86 or vice versa, but there are license compatibility issues and some technical issues to be solved.
Wouldn't it be easier to simply boot the Solaris 9 under qemu, copy the user-mode application into the environment and run it under that Solaris 9?
