The sparc build has been fixed now (upload pending) so this is going to block
migration of glib to testing, which blocks gtk+ 3.8 and many stuff that needs gtk+.

I don't have much time these days so help looking at this is very appreciated.

I wonder if some bsd port has a local patch to fix this.
