The target is sparc-unknown-linux-gnu (not sparc64-unknown-linux-gnu), which seems correct. I just found this post which is enlightening : http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-bugs/2001-06/msg00115.html "> > ld.so.1: ./a.out: fatal: relocation error: R_SPARC_32: file /local/nathan/devel/lib/libstdc++.so.3: symbol __gxx_personality_v0: offset 0x7fb1b0ca is non-aligned > > Until recently GNU binutils didn't handle R_SPARC_UA32 correctly.

But if offsets are encoded on 32 bits, I don't see how it can become unreachable. Unless it's a binutils bug.. I will try a different binutils version and keep you informed.
