So, it gets beyond the previous linker problem now but fails while linking =
Rust code:

[LNK] ExtensionLibrary/rust_uno-example.uno.so
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lrust_uno: No such file or directory
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [/home/glaubitz/loffice/libreoffice-26.2.0~alpha1/solenv/gbuil=
d/LinkTarget.mk:869: /home/glaubitz/loffice/libreoffice-26.2.0~alpha1/workd=
ir/LinkTarget/ExtensionLibrary/rust_uno-
example.uno.so] Error 1
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make: *** [Makefile:301: build] Error 2

I assume that this is unrelated to sparc64.
