One thing I noticed is that you said you compiled your binaries on a SunOS machine. SPARC SE only supports Linux binaries at the moment, so you'll need to recompile. Also, SPARC support is not totally production ready right now, so you could quite possibly run into problems which are not your fault. If you need something that's very likely to work, I would recommend using Alpha. If you decide to use SPARC, please let us know of any bugs you might find and/or fix.
