control: tags -1 upstream

Sparc is the last arch on debian to have not a valgrind port. Double free are thus really difficult to debug.

Sparc is interesting for testing corner case due to it strange cpu and alignement requirement.

Please port valgrind to sparc

This is very unlikely to ever get supported upstream.

If anyone is interested the source is available on GitHub:

https://github.com/glaubitz/valgrind-sparc

There are two branches, I think that 'master' is the one with Linux support.

I have not tried to build the code. It is reasonably up to date though.
