I haven't really tried running it on anything but i386 (I don't
remember if I ever ran it on m68k, but I do remember it taking ages to
compile). I would think it is an endian problem or similar, the program
was originally an MS-DOS applictaion, and both 32-bit support and Linux
ports were added later on, and it may very well be that the code
assumes something to behave just like i386 does.

Hopefully, someone on Debian-Sparc could help.
