building openbios sparc64 for qemu

As a newbee in this space I got qemu-system-sparc[64] running on a linux machine. Trying to find out how qemu and openbios work together I'm currently looking into building openbios-sparc64. This goes with mixed success as https://www.openfirmware.info/OpenBIOS has nice description on how to build openbios, but there's a missing link as to how to harvest the openbios-sparc64 from this. My build of openbios is done on an Ultra60(Sparc) machine that runs: Linux ultra60 4.19.0-2-sparc64 #1 Debian 4.19.16-1 (2019-01-17) sparc64 GNU/Linux with gcc --version gcc (Debian 8.3.0-2) 8.3.0 It seems like the file openbios/obj-sparc64/openbios-builtin.elf may be the candidate to become openbios-sparc64?? When giving this a try, and moving openbios-builtin.elf to my x86 qemu machine, it crashes spectacularly with: qemu: fatal: Trap 0x0064 while trap level (5) >= MAXTL (5), Error state pc: 0000000000004c80 npc: 0000000000004c84 %g0-3: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 %g4-7: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 %o0-3: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 %o4-7: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 %l0-3: 00000000fff001e0 000001ff00000000 000001fff0080000 0000000000000000 %l4-7: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 %i0-3: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 %i4-7: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 %f00: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 %f08: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 %f16: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 %f24: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 %f32: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 %f40: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 %f48: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 %f56: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 pstate: 00000414 ccr: 44 (icc: -Z-- xcc: -Z--) asi: 00 tl: 5 pil: 0 gl: 2 tbr: 0000000000000000 hpstate: 0000000000000000 htba: 0000000000000000 cansave: 6 canrestore: 0 otherwin: 0 wstate: 0 cleanwin: 6 cwp: 7 fsr: 0000000000000000 y: 0000000000000000 fprs: 0000000000000000 On x86: Booting qemu with the provided openbios-sparc64 rom works flawless.
