Seems that I made a too big show out of the problem. Dieter Jurzitza 
discovered that it is enough to simply add

#ifdef __SPARC_ARCH__
#undef SG_IO
#endif /* __SPARC_ARCH__ */

somewhere after '# include <scsi/sg.h>' and '# include 
"/usr/src/linux/include/scsi/sg.h"' in sanei_scsi.c . This disables 
usage of the new SG interface. So, no other problems; especially was my 
concern wrong that sizeof(int) might be different in 32 bit and 64 bit 
modes, or that there could be other incompatibilities.
