That's fine with me, if anyone wants them on sparc, they can build
from source or a "backport" could be done.
gcc-3.4 on sid was breifly amoung the packages affected, but an
updated version that avoids the problem has been uploaded already.

The kernel bug was fixed in December by Joshua Kwan, I just ran into
it on two packages a few days ago (one with the pre-woody bug already
filed).

With Microsoft, failure is not an option. It is a standard feature.
