For sid/unstable:

# apt-get install gcc-3.0 libc6-dev-sparc64
...
# echo 'int main() { printf("Hello World!\n"); }' > hello.c
# gcc-3.0 -m64 hello.c -o hello
# ./hello
Hello World!
# file hello
hello: ELF 64-bit MSB executable, SPARC V9, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped
# 

So basically, using this should work when compiling:


CC=gcc-3.0 -m64

Just remember that any shared libs you build should be installed into
/lib/64/, /usr/lib/64/ or /usr/local/lib/64/ (the last one requires
entry into /etc/ld.so.conf, the others are implied when ldconfig runs).
