Could you please run "strace ./test/nlist" from the build directory, and attach the resulting output.
I guess this is the part you are interested in: open("./work/libbsd-0.8.6-.sparc32/test/.libs/nlist", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3 _llseek(3, 0, [0], SEEK_SET) = 0 read(3, "\177ELF\1\2\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\2\0\22\0\0\0\1\0\1\6@\0\0\0004\0\0'\274\0\0\1\0\0004\0 \0\10\0(\0\34\0\33", 52) = 52 close(3) = 0 fstat64(1, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0620, st_rdev=makedev(136, 3), ...}) = 0 brk(NULL) = 0x26000 brk(0x48000) = 0x48000

Ok, I don't see what I was looking for (open() == -1). This is some deeper issue with the symbol table processing code.
This looks as if it could be related: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libbsd/commit/?id=9ceac74e91411d3f7dbbc42d772f3500c47c7cec
Fails the same on 0.8.7.
My guess is that it's because the compiler is compiling for V8+ i.e. 32-bit V9, rather than a lower baseline. V8+ has a different e_machine (EM_SPARC32PLUS) to standard sparc32 (EM_SPARC), but src/local-elf.h currently looks like: #if defined(__arch64__) #define ELF_TARG_MACH EM_SPARCV9 #define ELF_TARG_CLASS ELFCLASS64 #else #define ELF_TARG_MACH EM_SPARC #define ELF_TARG_CLASS ELFCLASS32 #endif I should think this can be fixed by changing it to: #if defined(__arch64__) #define ELF_TARG_MACH EM_SPARCV9 #define ELF_TARG_CLASS ELFCLASS64 #else #if defined(__sparc_v9__) #define ELF_TARG_MACH EM_SPARC32PLUS #else #define ELF_TARG_MACH EM_SPARC #endif #define ELF_TARG_CLASS ELFCLASS32 #endif Unfortunately this only works for Linux; on Solaris, the only difference I can se between V8 and non-V8+ is whether __GCC_HAVE_SYNC_COMPARE_AND_SWAP_* are defined; there's no v9 (or v8plus) macro available. That's an issue for upstream though, and this is a strict improvement.
I can confirm that this makes the tests green (based on 0.8.7).
