The way I read it you only have to install an unbuggy binutils. Are there more conditions I missed?
Yes but this is for _Linux_ not for freeBSD and freebsd binutils are not Linux ones..
Uh, it's a generic problem with binutils 2.15 and sparc64 AFAICS, not anything OS-related.
Replacing missing context for David O'Brien's benefit (he's the FreeBSD binutils guy):

FreeBSD and Linux binutils should be pretty similar. Note that the fix has not been put into the binutils 2.15 branch, however. It was only added to binutils HEAD, so I doubt many of the Linux dists have this fix either.
David, do you have any suggestions as to how to fix this? Taking sparc-opc.c off the vendor branch is probably not a solution you're interested in :) Maybe we can bug the binutils people into committing this to the 2.15 branch?
