I hate it when they do that.
You have a few options...
Write your own stub functions and compile your own object files, then
port to the SPARC for the "real" thing. Hopefully the behaviour of
the functions can be simulated easilly.
Use the SPARC exclusively... I'd do this, since it can be a pain
porting things... especially if your school (like mine did) uses an
outdated gcc with some patches to make C++ templates do some strange
things.
Yell at them until they compile Linux binaries. :) Usually doesn't work.
