Yeah, welcome to Debian/SPARC community :-))

Did you try the latest stable kernel, 2.0.30 for Linuxsparc?
(I believe that installation disks provide only a 2.0.29)

Good. Some of us worked on pgp when Debian package was not designed for sparc
and participating in fixing bugs, but we have not uploaded anything :-(
(I have a pgp-i binary running here, but I don't want to upload anything from
non-US because I'm living in France and french laws do not allow crypto usage :-(( ).
Can you upload them to non-US site as well?
Regards.
PS: now you can develop with libc6. Packages are available at
ftp://lix.polytechnique.fr/public/ftp/pub/Linux/debian/sparc/exp
you can already get libc6, binutils & libg++ packages.
ncurses is coming soon.
Feel free to try them and report any bug to me.
You have to uninstall any -dev package for libc5, and replace gcc specs file
(/usr/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-linux/2.7.2.1/specs) by the one provided under exp.
