I'm also sitting in Berlin, so we're having different delusions from the
heat then... :) BTW, I sent you a pubkey.

It's easy to test how the assembler behaves, using those standalone .as
files. So "sparc64-linux-gnu-as -Av9 -32 prt0.as -o prt0.o" should result
in a 32 bit object. If that doesn't work, nothing will.
