This is my mistake.  The lists on the no_source page are what items are 
not available as source.  Items that have re-distributable binarie 
available are annotated, as explained on the page.

The SPARC disassembler lack of annotation is a mistake - it is available 
as a re-distributable binary.  I'll update the page.
