More likely he built it as sparc64 with a sparc32 compiler.  The correct
answer is to do:

fuzzball:~/paranoia-III$ sparc32 bash
fuzzball:~/paranoia-III$ ./configure 
...
fuzzball:~/paranoia-III$ make

otherwise you wind up getting sparc64 kernel headers and sparc32 other
stuff.  all very very ugly.

Hopefully this will be fixed when Jakub finishes his sparc64 userland ;)

I hurt myself today, to see if I still feel.
