sparc port is unofficial but available on the ports.ubuntu.com for all 
version up to 9.04.
PPC has been retrogaded in ports recently since apple dropped that arch 
in favor of x86.
The compiler is not custom. It came from the ubuntu archive.
I don't think the compiler is the culprit in this case because all of 
the kernels built before 2.6.29 are working OK
(I could be wrong, but it's unlikely).
I have a sid debian sparc available. I'll try to build a kernel with 
that compiler and try if it changes anything.
