Yes, the problem is still seen in next-140829. See qemu test results at
http://server.roeck-us.net:8010/builders.

I provided sparc64 images at http://server.roeck-us.net/qemu/sparc64/.
The README file includes instructions on how to run the image in qemu
and how to build a kernel.

I can do the same for mips and mips64 if needed; let me know.

Thanks,
Guenter
