kernel compilation fails on sparc

[Johann Spies <jspies@sun.ac.za>]

I could not compile a 2.4 kernel with success so I tried 2.2.20 patched
to use ext3.

The linking failed with the following message on a lot of *.o files:

sparc64-linux-ld: warning: sparc:v9 architecture of input file `kmod.o'
is incompatible with sparc output

This is my first experience of Debian on the sparc.  Is there a way
forward?

Is is a Sun Ultra 1

Regards.
Johann
