Just an FYI that nettle-2.5 builds and passes all tests flawlessly with Oracle Studio 12.3 compilers :

$ fpversion A SPARC-based CPU is available. Kernel says CPU's clock rate is 1581.6 MHz. The clock rate is probably 14.3 MHz.

Sun-4 floating-point controller version 0 found. An UltraSPARC chip is available.

Use "-xtarget=generic -xcache=generic" code-generation option.

$ psrinfo -pv The physical processor has 64 virtual processors (0-63) UltraSPARC-T2+ (chipid 0, clock 1582 MHz) The physical processor has 64 virtual processors (64-127) UltraSPARC-T2+ (chipid 1, clock 1582 MHz)
