Yes, or you should be able to use a recent egcs with support for
sparc64.  I remember that it worked when we tried it on a sparc64.
Can you give us more details as to what and how it fails when you try
it?  Does it build?  Does `arlad --test' work?  Does the xfs module
link?  Does it load?  Does it work?
