The source code is platform independent - Nasm "should" compile and run 
on your Sparc - apparently it did... which I'm pleased to hear! However, 
Nasm outputs x86 code only.

I'm afraid you'll have to use a Sparc assembler. (G)as, probably - I 
really have no idea what's available. This assumes you want to run the 
resulting executable on the Sparc. If you want to develop on the Sparc, 
and run the resulting executable on x86, Nasm would work, but you'd need 
an appropriate linker (a "cross-linker"? Sounds horrible! :), or 
transfer the Nasm-produced .o file to a machine that has one.

Well... sorry to have to tell you that Nasm won't produce code that'll 
run on Sparc. Thanks for the feedback - good to know that you got as far 
as getting an .o file out of Nasm on it!

Best,
