on my sparc system, things built fine after i added the nanosleep prototype.  
i dont know if the "struct regs" problem Frederik is seeing is due to the C 
compiler barfing on earlier errors (since things like to snowball), or some 
other problem.  i know that running on a sparc64 kernel with a sparc32 
userland results in lots of errors if the --host isnt forced to match the 
userland (config.guess returns a sparc64 host).

i dont have any systems running a sparc32 kernel or a sparc64 userland, so i 
cant really test those setups.  sparc32 user on a sparc64 kernel is by far the 
most common combo at any rate ...
