not related to the running kernel or gcc/glibc.  'struct regs' comes from 
asm/regs*.h which comes from the kernel headers.  2.6.28 and older installed 
it, but it was killed off as "useless" during 2.6.29 development.  presumably 
you're using newer kernel headers version.

going by arch/sparc/kernel/ptrace_*.c, looks like it should be switched to 
struct pt_regs as asm/ptrace.h is still installed.
