I took the trouble of installing FreeBSD under qemu. I think I understand the problem:
sparc64-fbsd$ gcc -v Using built-in specs. Target: sparc64-undermydesk-freebsd Configured with: FreeBSD/sparc64 system compiler Thread model: posix gcc version 4.2.1 20070831 patched [FreeBSD] ^^^^ sparc64-fbsd$ as -v GNU assembler version 2.17.50 [FreeBSD] 2007-07-03 (sparc64-unknown-freebsd) using BFD version 2.17.50 [FreeBSD] 2007-07-03 ^^^^ I've highlighted the problem with ^^^^. Yes, the provided toolchain is hopelessly outdated. I do not intend to spend more time on implementing workarounds for shortcomings of a 14 year toolchain on a dead platform.
