newt 0.52.2-11.1 for sparc has arrived the archive

Build ends now with

(the full log is at
http://people.debian.org/~stappers/d-i/images/20071004-07:20/build_netboot.log
with a size of 1.3Mb)

My build environment is up to date according
 `apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade`

<screenshot about="more on vfprintf">
$ grep vfprintf@GLIBC build_netboot.log | sort -u | grep need
needed_symbols adding vfprintf@GLIBC_2.0, weak: False
needed_symbols adding vfprintf@GLIBC_2.4, weak: False
Still need: vfprintf@GLIBC_2.0
Still need: vfprintf@GLIBC_2.4
</screenshot>

How can I check
if the file that provides vfprintf@GLIBC_2.0 is present on the build system?
To rule out that symbol versioning in mklibs is fixed.
(#433874 mklibs: strips older versions of symbols that can still be needed)

Something else
| Still need: _dl_starting_up@Base
What about those _name@Base symbols?
