This was a very early and horribly priced bit to
run X86 code on sun
systems.
I used it once - when I was driving a SPARC5 all day and I wanted to
test the COSMAC Elf simulator in the late 1990s.

(note "WABI" in the compatibility list)
Internally and elsewhere I heard is was called
"What a Bunch of Idiots"
Never heard that but it fits.
