Hhmmm, I have all these gcc packages installed:

$ dpkg -l gcc* | grep ^.i
ii  gcc            3.2-6          The GNU C compiler.
ii  gcc-2.95       2.95.4-17      The GNU C compiler.
ii  gcc-3.2        3.2.3-4        The GNU C compiler
ii  gcc-3.2-base   3.2.3-4        The GNU Compiler Collection (base package)
ii  gcc-3.3        3.3-3          The GNU C compiler
ii  gcc-3.3-base   3.3-3          The GNU Compiler Collection (base package)

But my default gcc is version 3.2.3, and my kernel was compiled with
this version:

$ strings vmlinux | grep gcc
Linux version 2.4.21 (elparis@turbo) (gcc version 3.2.3 (Debian)) #16 Fri Jun 13 18:11:31 EDT 2003

This is very confusing. What version of gcc shoud I be using to compile
kernels on the Sparc?

Cheers,

Eloy.-
