We support arm/aarch64/mips/mips64/ppc/ppc64/riscv64/x86/x86_64 for 
major arches in OE-Core, we also carry patches to support SH4 but do not 
test actively for it. sparc support is in there atleast I see basic 
constructs are there. Its should be possible to build upon that easily. 
But it will not work out of box to set your expectations right.
