To clarify:
qemu-sparc is for running a single *program* written for a SPARC CPU,
but the
same OS as yours (in John's case Linux for SPARC).
qemu-system-sparc is for running an entire virtual *machine* containing
an OS
for a SPARC CPU, such as a hard drive containing Solaris for SPARC or Linux
for SPARC.
Both programs are useful, but for different things.

You are trying to virtualize SPARC on x86 so you need qemu-system-sparc.
qemu-sparc would be for a user-mode emulation on a SPARC processor. I've done
this before on CentOS 7 and it should definitely be possible to install
qemu-system-sparc. yum should not have a problem figuring out the dependencies
- make sure you're all up to date and don't have any broken packages.

Subject: [Qemu-discuss] qemu-sparc vs qemu-system-sparc
Date: Tue, 16 Jul 2019 17:43:46 -0400
I installed CentOS 7.6 then installed all things QEMU on my machine. I have
a SPARC image I need to bringing up in a VM. I've been using
*qemu-system-sparc*.
$ qemu-system-sparc -m 256 -hda solaris_v2-qemu_v2.2.0.disk -nographic -bios
./openbios-sparc32
This is on a box on which I have Fedora-30 installed.
Can I use *qemu-sparc* to bring up my Solaris image:
*solaris_v2-qemu_v2.2.0.disk* ?
If so, how?
BTW, *qemu-sparc* come with (on CentOS 7.6):
$ sudo yum install qemu*
*PS> I've tried to install qemu-system-sparc on my CentOS box but ended up
in a never-ending whack-a-mole game of dependencies.*
Enjoy
Jakob
