Dropping the patches doesn't have any effect on the result.

Note that this is a 32 bit userland sparc, but the kernel is 64 bit.

I'm not sure what that code is doing there.  But it seems to be
looking at a 64 bit core file (x86_64, arm64, s390x) and then
create a 64 bit pointer is trying to dereference that.
