BTW, It is worth mentioning that we recently uploaded version 1.6-1 to
Debian. This build failure does not happen only in the Sparc
architecture, it happens in all other architectures Debian supports.
The fuild build logs can be found in:

For reference, we are following this in Debian as bug #540679 "FTBFS:
error: cast from 'uint8_t*' to 'ArpHeader*' increases required
alignment of target type", see
