Debian wheezy sparc-32 package repository:
http://developer.gaisler.net/debian/
You can use http://wiki.debian.org/Multistrap (on debian)
together with:
--------- m-sparc.conf ------------------
[General]
arch=sparc
directory=/tmp/dist-multistrap-w
cleanup=true
noauth=true
unpack=true
aptsources=Grip Updates
debootstrapÞbian

[Debian]
packagessource=http://developer.gaisler.net/debian
suite=wheezy
-----------------------------------------
and
$fakeroot multistrap -f m-sparc.conf
to install a base installation.

For cross compilation of debian packages there is a
sparc-linux-gnu crosscompiler with many libraries preinstalled:
http://developer.gaisler.net/debian/cross-compiler/sparc-linux-gnu-cross_1.0.0-1_amd64.deb
This package is for a 64-bit machine.

crosstool-ng (which Sam has contributed Sparc support to) is another
way to easily build a cross compiler. buildroot is another
alternative.

Thanks,

The one above has a lot of headers and libxxx-dev-sparc-cross.dev  packages installed by default.
It is a multiarch compiler for debian-64-wheezy. You can build new cross package by:
$apt-get source <name>
$cd <dir>
$dpkg-buildpackage -asparc -us -uc -rfakeroot -b
Then you convert  the .deb to multiarch:
$export CC=sparc-linux-gnu-gcc
and install the "dev" deb oackages:
$dpkg-cross -A -M -a sparc -b <dev-name>.deb
$sudo dpkg -i <dev-name-sparc-cross>.deb
Most of the time you have to fiddle with he buildscripts though.
You need to be in a debian-64 wheezy distribution. (I use a 64-bit virtual virtualbox
and netinst from http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/).
