OE is making use of libtool, the version that it compiles for its own
use, I believe, in this case.  Debian as you note provides a host
libtool 1.5.26.  Perhaps Debian has a patch in libtool that needs to be
imported to OE's version for it to have a correct sparc configuration.
Or the problem could be deeper / elsewhere.  Traditionally, sparc hasn't
been the most ... easy to use ... platform, so you may need to do some
serious digging around to see just where the problem lies.
