The sparc Debian port is 32-bit userland, this has nothing to do with the buildd. The (upcoming) sparc64 port will be a separate, 64-bit userland port. It's currently residing on debian-ports.org and buildds are already building new uploads; it seems liburcu 0.7.6-1 built fine there: http://buildd.debian-ports.org/status/package.php?p=liburcu&suite=sid Both schroeder and smetana have a 64-bit kernel, in fact I don't think the sparc port has a 32-bit kernel at all anymore. smetana has all the build dependencies to build liburcu on the sid chroot, if you want to experiment. Note that this isn't something that has recently changed, so this doesn't explain why sparc used to work with previous liburcu versions but stopped working.
