Well, I'm not up on the sparc architecture. But, maybe there
are different versions of the sparc chipsets that have different
hardware (read some with fpu some without). I know that
is true amongst the Arm chipsets. Maybe a little research to
actually verify that the Sparc chipset you are compiling
on, actually has a fully functional FPU or not needs clarification?
Furthermore, if this is a Motherboard from SUN or a sparc clone
vendor, the FPU might be a separate, discreet chip....who knows....

In the old days, Solbourne, Tatung and Sun all did funky things
with the Sparc Architecture...... I think the Euro Space agency
even designed and built some sparc chipsets. If they are on a FPGA,
who knows the details of some funky SOC design. That may or maynot
be the source of your issues.


just a thought,
