I have just recently been made aware that you need to use the compiler
in the egcs64 package on Debian SPARC to compile working 64-bit kernels.
That was probably my problem. Actually my kernel *was* built, but I was
unable to boot on it. It will take a few days before I'm able to try
again, since I cannot set up the system with monitor and keyboard right
now.
I see that Ben Collins is putting in great effort to make it possible
soon to use gcc 3.2 to compile these kernels. That's wonderful.
Best regards,
