The problem is in op_reset_FT0. Source is like this:
void OPPROTO glue(op_reset_FT, REG) (void)
{
    glue(FT, REG) = 0;
    RETURN();
}

The code generated for op_reset_FT0 is like this:
        .section        .rodata.cst8,"aM",@progbits,8
        .align 8
.LLC0:
        .long   0
        .long   0
        .section        ".text"
        .align 4
        .global op_reset_FT0
        .type   op_reset_FT0, #function
        .proc   020
op_reset_FT0:
.LLFB152:
        .loc 1 30 0
        !#PROLOGUE# 0
        !#PROLOGUE# 1
        .loc 1 31 0
        sethi   %hi(.LLC0), %g1
        ldd     [%g1+%lo(.LLC0)], %f8
        std     %f8, [%g6+1176]
        .loc 1 32 0
        nop
        retl
        nop
.LLFE152:
        .size   op_reset_FT0, .-op_reset_FT0

So gcc puts the zero constant to .rodata.cst8 and generates code to
load the zero value from this location. This method is not supported
by dyngen for Sparc, but ARM uses similar method for all (?)
constants.
