It shouldn't be that difficult in this case - have a look
fpcsrc/rtl/linux/Makefile.fpc. Look at lines 147-153 (mips) and modify
lines 162-166 (sparc) similarly (obviously, not all options used for mips
are relevant for sparc, but the logic should be similar). Once done, call
'fpcmake -Tall' in that directory.
