Hi Michal,

There is something wrong with the patch,
I can't compile 2.6.38 neither linux-next on sparc64:

$ make CROSS_COMPILE=sparc64-unknown-linux-gnu-
CHK include/linux/version.h
CHK include/generated/utsrelease.h
UPD include/generated/utsrelease.h
CC kernel/bounds.s
GEN include/generated/bounds.h
CC arch/sparc/kernel/asm-offsets.s
GEN include/generated/asm-offsets.h
CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh
CC scripts/mod/empty.o
MKELF scripts/mod/elfconfig.h
HOSTCC scripts/mod/file2alias.o
HOSTCC scripts/mod/modpost.o
HOSTCC scripts/mod/sumversion.o
HOSTLD scripts/mod/modpost
/usr/lib/gcc/sparc-unknown-linux-gnu/4.5.2/../../../../sparc-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld:
scripts/mod/sumversion.o: Relocations in generic ELF (EM: 3)
scripts/mod/sumversion.o: could not read symbols: File in wrong format
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

$ file scripts/mod/sumversion.o
scripts/mod/sumversion.o: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, Intel 80386,
version 1 (SYSV), not stripped

Why 386?

gcc both sparc and sparc64 are 4.5.2, ld/binutils is 2.21
