Did a last attempt, and bingo. :)

make all OPTS="-ao-32 -Fo/usr/lib32 -Fl/usr/lib32"

Then everything builds, including the FP IDE, and all tools as expected.

Plus you need to fix the Makefile.fpc in rtl/linux to include -32 for
SPARC, and regenerate it using fpcmake -Tall. Then everything works. Maybe
it's also possible to just add ASTARGET=-32 into the make command line,
without patching the Makefile. But I did not try this.

Can you try if you can reproduce this?

Now, how to package this, or what to commit as fix in trunk/fixes branch,
is another question. :)
