My suggestion is that instead of hand-editing
builds/posix/prefix-linux_sparc32, you need to *drop* the part of
debian/patches/fix-mcpu-to-mtune.dpatch that changes
builds/posix/prefix-linux_sparc32 (as ema did).

Other difference may be somewhere else - CPU, debian distribution
(sid/etch/sarge).

I have no experience with sparc (and no access to such hardware) so I
need your help to properly add sparc support.


Thanks,
