  It sounds like you built some things in a very wrong order, when faced
  with the off_t changes.

I can believe that. Theo's instructions were explicit but being on the
other side of the planet I probably did half of them backwards.
  
  the on-disk FS is still the same.

I suspect my compiler suite then since the kernel panicked.  I better go
back to arch-sparc/* and try again.

Many thanks Chris.
