My opinion is that this has to get fixed by the ports maintainer
for SPARC, just like I'll fix this for hppa in the coming week.

You need to adapt the pthreadtypes.h structure definition
to match the same changes being done to the other architectures.


did you have a patch for hppa ?  do we really care about linuxthreads
anymore ?
LinuxThreads support is gone everywhere, but this doesn't mean we don't have any ABIs which are influenced by LinuxThreads. The ABI compatibility between LinuxThreads and NPTL made application binaries portable across kernels. So NPTL picked up where LinuxThreads left. Most of its structures are defined in public headers in such a way that their sizes are exposed, and there are no allocation functions for them, so size and alignment are essentially fixed today. 

I'm not sure why this is relevant to HPPA in particular, though.

Thanks,
Florian
