Comment (by proski):
I believe any C code is compiled to the standard ABI by any gcc. The may
be corner cases (bitfiled alignment or something) and version specific
optimizations in Linux kernel headers, which is why mismatching gcc
version prevents module loading. But I think the HAL interface was
specifically made minimal and simple to avoid such corner cases.
I suggest trying the current version, which uses the latest HAL. If it
doesn't work, please edit ah_osdep.h and replace CONFIG_REGPARM with
CONFIG_SPARC64 to enable regparm(0) attribute.
