There is a problem, while the ppc{,64} koji buildboxes aren't the

thing in the world, in my experience they are 25% to 100%
slower than the i?86/x86_64 boxes (I'm always waiting on them for gcc/glibc
etc. builds) and with addition of sparc{,64} that will be still orders of
magnitude slower (not sure what hardware is planned for koji sparc* builds,
but even 8way UltraII is horribly slow). So for secondary arches
we really need async builds instead of sync builds.
sparc builds will be on either my T1000 or spots T2000 both are 32 way 1.0 or
1.2ghz with large amounts of ram. but we will have sparc sparcv9v and
sparc64 builds of glibc and sparc sparc64 of gcc
