I hope someone else is... It's possible the base system version has an incorrect configuration file; these are typically generated statically by the person who does the import, so they can sometimes become stale when new versions are imported, or perhaps a sparc64 version was never imported in the first place. Compare any config.h files and the like from the base system version, with what is generated by a build of the port.
