 it requires both a 32bit-host *and* building 32 bit sparc64 kernels.
 eg, build.sh -m sparc kernel=GENERIC_SUN4U on an i386.  with that
 i get the same problem:
 
 /usr/src/sys/arch/sparc64/sparc64/locore.s: Assembler messages:
 /usr/src/sys/arch/sparc64/sparc64/locore.s:5958: Error: bignum invalid
 
    5958         sethi   %hh(A_SUN4V_TLB_TSB_LOCK), %g5
 
 i agree with martin earlier in the thread -- binutils problem.
