There is an old fdisk binary at ftp://lix.polytechnique.fr/pub/Linux/debian/sparc/bo/disks-sparc/fdisk It was based on util-linux 2.5 with RH patches. There is no fdisk for sparc in the current util-linux release (2.7.*). Neither in the upstream sources nor the RedHat one. The RedHat team has released a sparc-fdisk package based on fdisk from util-linux 2.5 instead. I think we can follow the same rules.
