"From a posting on misc@openbsd.org, from Theo de Raadt:"From: Theo de Raadt12:42 PM Subject:sparc64 flag day the sparc64 just underwent a flag day. The memory model has been changed. There will be no upgrade from 3.0 to 3.1 on the sparc64. You must reinstall, due to the binaries having been changed in fiddly internal ways. Just reinstall. You could very carefully upgrade, but then other issues might happen, like packages you are using, etc. So just reinstall if you have a sparc64, ok? You will be happy. Some compiler bugs are fixed as a result!

An finally, what sort of UltraSparc would make a cheap but appreciably faster replacement for my 110Mhz SS5?
