Florian's suggestion is correct: debian is changing some paths beginning
with debian wheezy to improve multi-arch support.
While on sparc this may not matter and maybe not needed, it's probably
done on all platforms to reduce maintenance.
I.e. libc startup files and such are now in /usr/lib/<arch-triplet>.
Debian based distros like Ubuntu also do that in recent versions
already. At least on 12.10 here I have these files
in /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu although it's a 32 bit only system.
After Florian's suggestion I spent a few minutes reading Debian's
comments on their multi-arch changes, and was struck by their admission
that they anticipated that they would cause pain.
I added already several weeks ago the new multi-arch pathes as
additional default search pathes to armhf-linux but since people didn't
like this change I didn't add it for the other architectures.
I don't consider myself sufficiently experienced to have an opinion.
I find there's a build problem for 2.6.0 with the IDE debugger
interface, affecting at least SPARC on multiple versions of Debian (i.e.
it's not caused by the multi-arch changes). I'll take a look at it on
x86 Linux and raise it separately.
