To me it seems this solution is just a workaround. The problem is that 
configure.in uses prefix.linux_sparc32 for "sparc*" (32/64-bit) and 
that uses -m32 unconditionally.

I guess just dropping -m32 would help, assuming the compiler chooses 
the right platform when running on 32/64-bit userland. Then 
prefix.linux_sparc32 can be renamed to prefix.linux_sparc

Another approach would be to clone prefix.linux_sparc32 to 
prefix.linux_sparc64, replacing -m32 with -m64 and then to add another 
stanza in configure.in that detects sparc64 and uses 
prefix.linux_sparc64 for that.

I'll try the first approach on porter machines.
