Install on sparc64 went smoothly. Initial first boot hangs at some
systemd related process. I will try to get logs regarding that. I was
able to boot to single user mode and then from there to bring up the
server to full multi-user mode whereupon everything seems to "just work"
and that includes the improved and fixed gcc :

Surprised that bug was in the sparc64 world since at least gcc 7.3.0.

Dennis, can you try with older kernel version (unpack and install
without dpkg) like 5.7.x?

Yes, please. I don't have any capacity left on my side and I also don't see
this issues on our newer machines so it might be a bug that affects older
machines only.

It might be the same issue that Meelis has been reporting to the Linux
SPARC kernel mailing list.
