A SPARC is not a 386, it's completely alien in comparison. They don't even read numbers in the same order.

It's difficult to imagine a program that has no system calls at all, too; I suspect it makes at least a few.

I said "TARGET" machine is a sparc !!! Source machine is x86. Please read the statement carefully.

Your statement is pretty unambigious. You didn't ask why it built a 386 executable for a SPARC target -- you asked why the 386 executable wouldn't run on a SPARC target. That's why.
