I think the only answer that qualifies is A. Now the good news...

You should be able to get these two package sets in.

Glibc*.sparc.rpm, nscd*.sparc.rpm, rpm-*.sparc.rpm, popt-*.rpm, and all
dependencies that it complains about. Then, do gcc-*.sparc.rpm, cpp-*.
sparc.rpm, libstdc*.sparc.rpm, libgcc*.sparc.rpm, libgcj-*.sparc.rpm,
libf2c-*.sparc.rpm, libgnat-*.sparc.rpm, and any other dependencies that
I'm forgetting.

Note that the kernel is missing. I still can't get a 2.6 kernel for
sparc64 that will let me build the 2.6 kernel or glibc when its
booted.
