I'd like to second this request.  I can't get Debian to run on my
Sparc 20 with a 2.1.103 CVS kernel. (And the kernel that comes with it
won't even boot.)  I suspect the problems are related to libc6
(seemingly the only difference between Debian and UltraPenguin, which
runs fine with that kernel).

Symptoms:

  "bash" segfaults after running any external command.
  "dpkg-deb" aborts complaining about the input not being in gzip format
