Gcc 3.2 64-bit mode on Sparc?

[Roy Bixler <rcb@ucp.uchicago.edu>]

I am running Sid and have recently been compiling many kernels in an
effort to get the 'ncpfs' filesystem to work on the Ultrasparc.  Using
the egcs64 package works for kernel 2.4.19 but it chokes on
2.4.20-pre5 with an internal compilation error.  I then tried to
compile the kernel with gcc-3.2, but was very surprised to find that
it doesn't support 64-bit compilations.  I found even gcc-3.1 doesn't
support 64 bit mode.  I did succeed in compiling 2.4.20-pre5 with
gcc-3.0 but I shortly got a panic with the resulting kernel and am not
confident that gcc-3.0 is good for compiling kernels.  Does anyone
know when I'll be able to compile kernels with a non-ancient
(i.e. newer than egcs-2.92) GCC?

Thanks,
