we do an automatic build test (of both vmlinux and of modules) of over 
80 non-x86 architecture configs, amongst them are sparc64 and sparc 
configs:

  http://www.tglx.de/autoqa-cgi/index?run=86&tree=1

for the latest version of our trees all the 80 non-x86 configs (and all 
96 configs in total) built successfully.

if in the sparc64 row you click on the green "OK" button (which signals 
that the build was successful) you can get the build log and see all 7 
warnings that get triggered on the sparc64 defconfig with 
sched-devel/latest [which embedds x86/latest].

so i'm not sure where those "over a megabyte of warnings" come from.
