Maybe we need to get a preinst script that checks for this?

The exact same symptoms I have on my LX. I'm wondering if the Glibc
(for some odd reason) needs to be built on a regular sparc or if this
is just a kernel issue. I used the sparc kernel headers and the latest
egcs from potato, but built it on my Ultra since building it killed my
LX at the same point in the build everytime with an instant reboot.
Can you try this new patch I have (sparc32-chown.dpatch) and build on
the sparc 20? I've tries building this against 2.2.5 headers from vger
cvs and still had the same problems, so this is either not a kernel
issue or it's one that isn't fixed.
