A lot of people have repeated this like rumour, but were unable to
point me to something official when asked.  All I can find is this
statement:

https://release.debian.org/jessie/arch_qualify.html
| sparc
| Upstream Support
|
| According to the gcc maintainer 32bit code generation as we use it is

Actually confirming this with upstream would be a good idea IMHO before
acting on it.

sparc64 still lags way behind sparc (and even hurd-i386) in archive
coverage so likely that needs to be improved first:
