This is not a case of something the existing compiler cannot process,  
but a platform-specific include file which was not updated while  
others were. The SPARC exit_group syscall is 188 according to
   http://lxr.linux.no/source/include/asm-sparc/unistd.h#L207

But yes, it's possible you'll find a few more things like this before  
everything compiles, since the SPARC/Linux port has not been  
maintained for a while.
