No, I send you and on the sparclinux list already a patch for 
this 2 weeks ago. The problem is, that make dep will build at first
sparc specific programs (archdep) which needs linux/version.h, but 
make dep does create linux/version.h only after building this tools. The
following patch solved the problem for me:
