Depends.  Were you told 'Linux on Sparc', or just 'Sparc'?  It matters.
If someone says 'it must run on Sparc', they -usually- mean Solaris.
If you have to run on Solaris, you've got some additional work ahead
of you.  If it's just 'Linux on Sparc', it depends on your app.  In
most cases, it's just a recompile.  Headers and libraries will do the
heavy lifting for you.
