I really do not believe you when you say your glibc is not affected.
Maybe some things did not became clear as part of the discussion,
so let me quickly restate:

 - talking about -m64 / libc6-sparc64_2.10.2-*_sparc.deb only

 - syscall is screwed up. strace outputs:

C func  | i386      | x86_64     | sparc32   | sparc64
--------+-----------+------------+-----------+---------------
stat    | stat64    | stat       | stat64    | stat64
lstat   | lstat64   | lstat      | lstat64   | lstat64
fstatat | fstatat64 | newfstatat | fstatat64 | fstatat64
fstat   | fstat64   | fstat      | fstat64   | fstat (*)


 - I now found and fixed the problem, here is the patch for
   you to study (as code speaks louder)
