>Description:
Cross-building a i386 kernel fails on a sparc64 in sys/crypto/sha2/sha2.c. The exact complait is about an invalid bignum. When I compiled with the -S flag, to see the assembly, the problem was a negative .quad bignum.
>How-To-Repeat:
Do a "./build.sh -m i386" a kernel on an ultrasparc. 
>Fix:
This sounds like a gas bug. I found
    http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2001-09/msg00389.html
when doing a Google search.

As a workaround, I compiled sha2.c using the powerpc gcc:
/home/source/src/../tool/bin/powerpc--netbsd-gcc -S -msoft-float -ffreestanding -O2 -Wreturn-type -Werror -Wall -Wno-main -Wno-format-zero-length -Wpointer-arith -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-sign-compare -Dmacppc=macppc -I. -I/home/source/src/sys/arch -I/home/source/src/sys -nostdinc -DLKM -DDIAGNOSTIC -DZS_CONSOLE_ABORT -DMAXUSERS=32 -D_KERNEL -D_KERNEL_OPT -c /home/source/src/sys/crypto/sha2/sha2.c

Note that it generates the same constants, but uses .long rather than .quad.  I replaced the .quad sections in the i386 sha2.s with the .long sections generated by the powerpc compiler. (Note that this may result in different constants due to endian issues--I am not sure how this stuff works out) I then assembled sha2.o and resumed build.sh compilation with -u.
