Works for me on OpenBSD/i386.

The SO_NOSIGPIPE fix is in bitcoin's git master; I submitted it to deal with DragonFly BSD. I've submitted a patch for the MSG_NOSIGNAL definition as well to the list.

But I'm confused as to how it is working on Sparc64; isn't sparc64 a big-endian machine? The C++ bitcoin client isn't supposed to run on BE machines... have you been able to download the blockchain and everything?

Thanks,
