   OK, then I'll need ncurses for sparc64-linux, right?

Yup, your config.log contains:

   configure:6970: checking for tgetent in -lncurses
   configure:6989: gcc -o conftest -g -O2   conftest.c -lncurses  -lm  1>&5
   /usr/local/gcc-binutils/lib/gcc-lib/sparc64-linux/3.4/../../../../sparc64-linux/
   bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libncurses.so when searching for -lncurse
   s
   /usr/local/gcc-binutils/lib/gcc-lib/sparc64-linux/3.4/../../../../sparc64-linux/
   bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libncurses.a when searching for -lncurses
   /usr/local/gcc-binutils/lib/gcc-lib/sparc64-linux/3.4/../../../../sparc64-linux/
   bin/ld: cannot find -lncurses

Good luck,
