now that linux-headers-2.6.12-1-* is not available in sid anymore, I

the fact that the proper asm -> asm-sparc64 symlink was missing, the
2.6.14-2-* package is configured for SPARC32 and therefore doesn't
provide 64 bit options like page size etc. that is needed by klibc (build).
Is this a bug or a feature? ;-)
this is a bug in current linux-headers,
which prevents upload of updated klibc.
hope it to be resolved soon.
I disagree. If you are trying to use the headers from
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.14-2/ directory, you are asking for trouble.
These headers are incomplete and should not be used for any build. The
propery directory to use is /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.14-2-sparc64/,
which adds the flavour-specific stuff and symlinks everything else to
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.14-2. I have just verified that it builds
successfully when used that way.
I think I've mentioned to you before, that I do not consider the way it is
done now (depending on linux-headers) to be right, and that's exactly what
I was talking about. Instead, klibc source should include necessary
headers (and get updated whenever the interface changes), or provide a
separate package containing them (the same way glibc is doing with
linux-kernel-headers).
