This is a symptom of the wrong --host being used. glibc cares if you're
using an UltraSPARC or not even if you're using a 32-bit userspace.

You want to say --build=sparcv9-unknown-linux-gnu --host=sparcv9-unknown-linux-gnu.

(Note also the usual dual-universe considerations for SPARCv9; i.e.,
that you'll need to either move the 32-bit kernel asm/ headers into
place explicitly, or have a tree of stub headers that #include the
appropriate real 32/64-bit headers depending on the value of
__arch64__.)

What we need these days is a stable, fast, anti-aliased root beer
with dynamic shading. Not that you can let just anybody have root.
