Cannot compile with /usr/local/bin/sparc64-linux-gcc

Cannot compile with /usr/local/bin/sparc64-linux-gcc

[DURANTEZ Marc]

I have just installed the distribution 1.0.9 of
ultrapenguin on my ultra2 and I wanted
to compile a kind of helloworld 64 bits. But I get
an error with sparc64-linux-gcc:

/usr/local/bin/sparc64-linux-gcc -o test64
test64.c
/usr/local/sparc64-linux/bin/ld: cannot open
crt1.o: No such file or directory.

I could compile it with the standard gcc (the one
in the path) but then the output
of test64 is that long and pointers are 4bytes
long.

How should I do to compile programs using the
64bits capabilities of the Ultra2?
Might be I missed an important HOWTO or info page.

I would also like to subscribe to the ultralinux
mailing list and receive information
about any source of information on ultrapenguin as
FAQs, HOWTOs, etc...

Please reply directly as I am not in the mailing
list!

Thanks

64-bit userland is not supported or even exists yet, that special
64-bit compiler is only for the kernel, we are working on 64-bit
userland as I type this.

So please don't bombard us with "when will it be ready, can I help
etc." questions, so that we can use our valuable time finishing this
task.  We will be quick to notify people when it is ready even for the
most dangerous testing, it is not even at that stage yet.
