What compiler did you use? I wouldn't trust all GCC versions.
GCC 3.2.3 is known to work with the 2.4 kernels.
I consider 2.6.0 a 'most things work' milestone. Sparc support for 2.6
hasn't been tested or reported on this list very much lately. It might be
broken. In that case, it will be fixed in a next version of the 2.6 series.
I'm guessig this is sparc32. I know for a fact that 2.6.0 is pretty
solid on sparc64.
