Well, it actually tells you what's wrong. Your problem is that dpkg
requires libpcre3.so.3 to work which is in the package you are
currently trying to install.
$ dpkg-deb -c libpcre3_8.35-7.1+sparc64_sparc64.deb |grep libpcre.so.3.13.1
-rw-r--r-- root/root 437096 2015-08-11 04:18
./lib/sparc64-linux-gnu/libpcre.so.3.13.1
lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2015-08-11 04:18
./lib/sparc64-linux-gnu/libpcre.so.3 -> libpcre.so.3.13.1
Just extract libpcre3.so.3.13.1 manually and copy it into place:
$ dpkg -x libpcre3_8.35-7.1+sparc64_sparc64.deb ~/libpcre3
$ cp -av ~/libpcre3/lib/sparc64-linux-gnu/libpcre.so.3.13.1 \
sid-sparc64-sbuild/lib/sparc64-linux-gnu/libpcre.so.3.13.1
$ ln -s sid-sparc64-sid/lib/sparc64-linux-gnu/libpcre.so.3.13.1 \
sparc64-sid-sbuild/lib/sparc64-linux-gnu/libpcre.so.3
Then try again.

No, you didn't. I forgot to mention that. But the error message above
should have given you the proper clue.

Of course *within* the chroot. The idea behind the two stages is that
the first stage is run on the host system while the second stage is
run on the target system when using --foreign to debbootstrap a foreign
architecture.
Please read the manpage of debootstrap.
