[solved] gcc-sparc64, kgcc64 and binary host

I am trying to get a SB100 host set up to serve up binary packages to my fleet of SB100's. I have enabled the buildpkg feature in /etc/make.conf and set up the ftp account on the host. On my first client (or victim) I have them pointing to the binary host. But when I run emerge -avuDNg world, I get gcc-sparc64 blocking kgcc64. However, I have already updated to kgcc64 in a previous update round (which was all complied by the local machine). If I drop the g option from my emerge command, then all is good, but I end up with a mile long list of packages to compile (we are talking about days here).

Anyone provide any pointers on how to get around the block (no pun intended) and still use my binary host.

TIA!

Chances are one of your binary packages (most likely linux-headers) still depends on gcc-sparc64 vs kgcc64. Also, if you are not upgrading linux-headers with your command, this could also be causing the confliction (depending on what version of linux-headers is installed).

I started suspecting a dependency problem after I posted so I had begun recompiling everything last night on the host system. Of course that will still take days to complete, so being an impatient person, I tried to update the client this morning but it still had the block. After reading your post and out of curiosity I remerged linux-headers on the client and what do you know, the block was eliminated!

Thanks Weeve!
