I tried this about a year ago - it didn't work then and I suspect it
never has. I'm not sure what the cause is.

In any case, sparc's are almost always a lot slower than just building
natively on amd64 hardware, so you probably aren't going to get people
too excited about fixing it without tracking down the exact problem
and/or sending a patch.
