Err, sorry, there's a typo in the previous line I've sent. here's the
correct one. Also, ASTARGET= override seems to work, so you don't need to
patch the sources, you can fix it during build with options.

Like this:

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

This builds current 3.1.1 SVN with the preinstalled 3.0.2 package on the
Debian SPARC64 box without patching anything. Now, if you want to patch
the compiler for this, or simply wire additional options to the package
supplied fpc.cfg with the right paths and options, that decision is not
mine to make. I'm not the Linux maintainer, and even less of a SPARC
maintainer. :)
