You can ignore this error for now.
You have a fundamental problem, though: MS-Windows binaries will
of course not run on a Sparc machine, as they contain Intel machine code ...
The modifications I did had the purpose to get *Winelib* working,
i.e. to allow you to compile a Windows application from source
on Sparc machines (to Sparc machine code ...).

I would call this a bug the gcc specs file. Unfortunately,
it appears that various installations of gcc set up a specs
file that doesn't link shared libraries against libc (I've
seen this on FreeBSD and Solaris), but IMO this is just
broken.
It's much simpler to just fix the specs file used by gcc.
(Do a gcc -v to find out which specs file your gcc is using;
edit the *lib section in this file and make sure that it
contains -lc outside of any conditional %{shared ...}.)

Hmmm. Our build process is a bit non-standard.
I agree, this should probably be fixed ...
Bye,
Ulrich
