Hi!

Sorry, as you didn't use the mysqlbug script, I can't say why
configure things you are using a cross compiler!

Note that gcc 2.8.1 does NOT work reliable on sparc !  There are
optimizations bugs that affects programs that uses long long (64 bit)
integer arithmetic (as MySQL)!

Please upgrade to egcs 1.1.2 instead !
