This looks like a very old version. Please use a recent one like SVN
HEAD, or the one shipped with QEMU (currently r859 in git HEAD).

Yes, I see Fedora-based packages (which I tried to use) are too old.
To compile openbios from the repo I need sparc cross-compiler, -binutils, -glibc...
I found no precompiled cross-tools for sparc in Fedora...
What would be your recommendation regarding cross-tools version, what do you use to compile openbios and on what host platform?
Thank you.
