Ah, that problem.
You need to make sure you install all the patches to 1.5.
You also need to check which `as' is being called by the toolchain. ISTR
that there are two of them and the toolchain is not calling the correct
one. Use `gcc -v' to find which one is being invoked.
Or better yet, blow away the old toolchain and install:
ftp.netbsd.org:/pub/NetBSD/arch/sparc64/toolchain/dwarf.tar.gz
Stop.

Are there any projects in the works that I could try to help out
with? Most of my experience is with FreeBSD on i386. I know enough about
NetBSD to get by put know little about Sun/Sparc hardware. I'm willing to
learn whatever is necessary to help out with the NetBSD/sparc64
project.
Let's see. We still need a driver for the Simiens 8253x serial contollers,
drivers and X server support for VGA and FFB based displays, and the 32-bit
emulations can always use more work.
