The underlying upstream issue of this bug in glibc seems to have been fixed [1], so I assume we could actually close this bug. If someone has an idea how to quickly verify the fix, please let me know. > One of my major problems with helping debian and the sparc port has > been simply figuring out what is wrong.

You might be happy to hear that we have started bringing sparc64 back to life in debian-ports and we're making very good progress with almost 9000 packages being up-to-date. Currently, there are no installer images available though. Thus, you have to use debootstrap to install a base sparc64 system which you can boot later.
