Wesley, as you can see from the log

  http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=mlton&ver=20050906-1&arch=sparc&stamp=1126075052&file=log&as=raw

in particular, from the error message

  cc1: error: invalid option 'v8'
  call to system failed with exit status 1:
  gcc -std=gnu99 -c -I/usr/lib/mlton/include -O1 -fno-strict-aliasing -fomit-frame-pointer -w -mv8 -m32 -o /tmp/file1B7tG9.o /tmp/fileDKVwwb.1.c
  Error: cannot upgrade basis because the compiler doesn't work

The latest build fails because the currently uploaded binary package
of MLton for Sparc, 20050826, still has the -mv8 problem.  I don't see
any workaround other than for you to build and upload a binary
package for Sparc.
