You can try the following at the command line in Ubuntu 23.04:

$ echo -e "#include <stdio.h> \n int main(void) { puts(\"Hello
World\"); }" > test.cpp
$ sparc64-linux-gnu-g++ -o test test.cpp -static
$ qemu-sparc64-static ./test
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
$ qemu-sparc-static ./test
qemu-sparc-static: ./test: Invalid ELF image for this architecture
$ qemu-sparc32plus-static ./test
qemu-sparc32plus-static: ./test: Invalid ELF image for this architecture

Making static executables can be temperamental on a few different
platforms, and so I tried to make a dynamically linked executable by
providing ld-linux.so.2 as well as the libc files. Still it crashes.

Has anyone been able to get use 'qemu' on the binaries produces by the
cross-compiler 'sparc64-g++' ?
