Considering the JIT uses v9 instructions, it's just impossible to find someone like that. Unfortunately for me ;) I would have appreciated a proper answer, though, instead of finding it elsewhere (and by total luck, as I was on #jsapi when someone mentioned #502696). [Ah, that does shed more light on the matter — 13 years, wow, that would be epic if it existed. In general I disclaim all knowledge of Sparc processors or the architecture, so I had no idea v8 was anywhere close to that old and couldn't have answered the question in any case (I can't really think of any SpiderMonkey hackers really familiar with Sparc, to be honest) — but the promise was too outlandish to not highlight in any case. :-) ] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=502696 gives some insights.
