Don't know, i will test. I am not even sure it is related to that.
Xavier told me everything is ok with gcc 3.2.1 and a bit older glibc
than we use, and told me he would need access to a debian sparc box
running unstable to investigate, but i have no such box, and i don't
think it would be possible to give him access on a debian sparc box,
those we have are too critical i think. At least i got no reply when
asking debian-admin about it, but maybe it was not the best place to
ask. Maybe i should ask in the debian-sparc mailing list.
So, if any of you have access to a sparc box running debian/unstable,
and would be ok with giving Xavier access, then please tell me, if not,
i will try out the new glibc, and if it doesn't solve things, fill a bug
against gcc 3.2, and ask for a machine on debian-sparc.
In the meantime, you can always force the usage of gcc 2.95, using the
-cc option to configure. Anyway, ocaml 3.06-15 is built with gcc 2.95,
and 3.06-16 is sitting in the new queue.
