No, I mean busybox-static_1.18.4-2_sparc64.deb from the older Debian
distribution.
Meanwhile it's 1.20,
http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian/pool-sparc64/main/b/busybox/busybox-static_1.20.0-8_sparc64.deb
but I only experimented with 1.18. Back then it was definitely a pure
64 bit application:

$  file busybox
busybox: ELF 64-bit MSB executable, SPARC V9, Sun UltraSPARC1
Extensions Required, relaxed memory ordering, version 1 (SYSV),
statically linked, for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, stripped

HTH,
Artyom
