Thanks.

The Sparc systems to which I have easy access are all
Debian-based.  Debian's Sparc userland is 32-bit only, so I don't
see an easy way to try to debug this on any of them.

One possibility would be to install Fedora sparc64 in QEMU.  This
is likely to take a lot of time, so while I'm willing to do it if
I have to, it'd be much better if someone can just offer me a
ready-made QEMU disk image.
