[Maybe a bit off topic here, let me know if I should drop this(these?)
thread(threads), for now, I hope you can accept the information herein

down on what the Aurora project wants with sparc64 variants...]


well, doesn't build as sparc64 variant, I suspect a hardcoded use of
ld not via gcc (and thus CC='gcc -m64') is the issue:

ar -cr libpwdb.a common/commonio.o common/grcommon.o common/lockpw.o
common/misc.o unix/group.o unix/passwd.o unix/pwio.o unix/groupio.o
shadow/gshadow.o shadow/shadow.o shadow/shadowio.o shadow/sgroupio.o

pwdb/pwdb_module.o pwdb/pwdb_start.o posix/pwd.o posix/grp.o
posix/getlogin.o posix/undefined.o -lcrypt -lnsl -lc
ld: warning: sparc:v9 architecture of input file `common/commonio.o'
is incompatible with sparc output

etc.

In /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/Linux-PAM-0.77/pwdb-0.62/libpwdb/ we find in
the Makefiles this line:

$(LIBDYNAME): $(LIBOBJ)
	$(LD) -soname $(LIBSONAME) -x -shared -o $(LIBFILENAME) $(LIBOBJ)
-lcrypt -lnsl -lc

So, I tried this rpmbuild instead:

LD='gcc -m64' CC='gcc -m64' CXX='g++ -m64' rpmbuild --rebuild
pam-0.77-66.2.13.src.rpm --target=sparc64

but the build failed in the same way... so, no go as sparc64 variant
