No, it's not sparc-specific. What I meant is that, from a release
management point of view, it is preventing xorg-x11 from being a
candidate for testing, since (for different reasons over time, one of
them being the mentioned #318979) there has not been a successful
build of the package in SPARC yet. And this is blocking other packages
from doing their C++ ABI transition as well.
So, the bug is serious because it breaks compilation of other
packages, and the release team would wish (I believe) a quick solution
for the reason explained in the previous paragraph.

Again, sorry if my words were not clear enough. I was not talking
about an already existing FTBFS on sparc, but about a _future_ one,
when xorg-x11 would be retried in that arch with l-k-h 2.6.13+0rc3-1
(as you say, last time it was tried with still 2.6.12.0-1). But Eugene
Konev has stated that such retry _would_ fail, and I've asked the
X.org packagers for confirmation.

xorg-x11 does not build-depend on l-k-h, though the packagers may wish
to update their build-conflicts.
Thanks,
