Don't do that.  Instead, go back to the specifications from which
the MC68000 Assembler components were written, and rewrite them in
SPARC Assembler from that specification.

If no such specification exists, or if the existing Assembler isn't
encapsulated into functional units, throw the program away with
considerable force.
