Look in sys_sparc32.c and ioctl32.c to see how this can be fixed.

I do, but it would not help you much, because the 64bit userland is still in
a state of flux and is changing every few days in binary incompatible
ways.

That's because glibc assumes if it is egcs later than 1.x, then it has
certain features, but egcs64 is a snapshot of egcs from last year which did
not have it. Basically, for sparc64 userland you need gcc-2.96 + a wad of
patches, latest binutils + a few patches, latest glibc 2.1.90, kernel
2.3.4+, etc.
