Why would one want to press a big architecture such as SPARC into a
limited-resource FPGA when there are MISC designs out there which just
take 20 kTransistors, or so?
The whole idea of hardware/software being distinctive starts eroding
with FPGA anyway. Eventually, the last stage of your compiler will be
a silicon compiler stage, and you would be swapping out (to RAM)
pieces of circuitry, not code.
And then GA on analog FPGA looms on the horizont... Grow your own.
