Well, not to follow up to my own post but ... something as simple as
apt-build install top doesnt work.

I guess I have no idea what I'm going to use apt-build for - or maybe
I'm just so accustomed to building/installing everything into
/usr/local/ (I mean I compile software for Solaris, Debian, RH9, and
FC) that I can't comprehend any other way to compile software.

/usr/local is just easy for me to keep straight in my head I guess.

BTW -

SparcV9 is really ultrasparc:

-mcpu=ultrasparc
-mtune=v9

-march isn't used -- at least not in the version of gcc (3.3.5) which
Debian ships.

:)  Overall I like apt-build and will prolly enjoy it more as I get
more away from using /usr/local and trying to stay within Debians
main-stream system configuration...
