I'm using kernel-package and the only thing I have linked is /usr/sparc-linux to "."
else when supplying elf64_sparc, it can't find the linker scripts (bug in binutils
IMO). The names of the bintutils that the kernel looks for for sparc64 is just a side
affect of how the people doing the development had their systems setup (which is why
kernel-package passes args to the make to overrride the defaults so that it works
properly, except for the sparc-linux link). However on my system, even the standard
kernel make adds -melf64_sparc to the linker command line.

Once I get this gcc setup, egcs64 will soon become obsolete. Until then it should
serve to build sparc64 kernels (using the sparc-linux link and kernel-package).
