Ah-ha! Thanks, I now have a sparc cross compiler. It seems to work ok as I
have now compiled a new kernel and the machine boots :)

I'm still having problems compiling glibc-2.1.3, I should probably start
pestering the relevant glibc lists, but just to check, are there any cross
compiler-specific problems that exist?

It currently fails in the locale directory in the C-ctype.c file at lines
379 and 382, and it looks like some endian flags aren't set properly. Is
this the cross-compilers fault? As the host machine is i386 and the target
is sparc...

(Output can be posted on request)

Thanks again for the help, appreciated

Matt
