I run emerge -Up world and get a list of a bunch of things I should update:
Code:

[ebuild     U ] sys-devel/gettext-0.12.1 [0.11.5-r1]
[ebuild     U ] sys-devel/binutils-2.14.90.0.7-r3 [2.14.90.0.6-r6]
[ebuild     U ] sys-boot/silo-1.3.1-r1 [1.3.0-r1]
[ebuild     U ] app-arch/bzip2-1.0.2-r3 [1.0.2-r2]
[ebuild     U ] sys-apps/portage-2.0.49-r21 [2.0.49-r20]
*** Portage will stop merging at this point and reload itself,
    recalculate dependencies, and complete the merge.

[ebuild     U ] dev-util/ccache-2.3 [2.2]
[ebuild     U ] sys-apps/groff-1.18.1-r4 [1.18.1-r3]
[ebuild     U ] x11-wm/fluxbox-0.9.7 [0.1.14-r2]
[ebuild     UD] net-print/foomatic-filters-3.0.0.20031018 [20031018]
[ebuild     UD] net-print/foomatic-db-engine-3.0.0.20031018 [20031018]
[ebuild     UD] net-print/foomatic-3.0.0.20031018 [20031018]
[ebuild     U ] sys-apps/gawk-3.1.3-r1 [3.1.3]
[ebuild     U ] app-portage/gentoolkit-0.1.38 [0.1.37]
[ebuild     U ] net-analyzer/ethereal-0.9.16 [0.9.13]
[ebuild     U ] net-misc/rsync-2.6.0 [2.5.7]
[ebuild     U ] net-analyzer/nmap-3.48 [3.45]
[ebuild     U ] sys-devel/gcc-config-1.3.4 [1.3.3-r1]
[blocks B     ] sys-devel/egcs64-sparc (from pkg sys-devel/gcc-sparc64-3.2.3)
[ebuild  N    ] sys-devel/gcc-sparc64-3.2.3


I've never seen a block before. This looks like
a pretty tricky one for my first case. So do I unemerge
egcs64-sparc and then emerge in gcc-sparc64? I expect
a catch-22 from that, or is this purely related
to kernel compiling?

How do I deal with this?

It's just for the kernel. To be paranoid, you can do something like
Code:

quickpkg egcs64-sparc
emerge -C egcs64-sparc

And then the build of gcc-sparc64 goes fine. (And quickly, since
it is building just enough of a compiler to compile the kernel.) What it builds is
gcc64 -> sparc64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc

Then, according to the ebuild, what you do is put this in your
profile file
Code:

alias sparc64make='make ARCH=sparc64 CROSS_COMPILE=sparc64-unknown-linux-gnu-'


and use sparc64make for making your kernel.

If you do this, it does in fact build a kernel, and I understand the kernel
works fine (but I haven't tried it beyond the kernel build itself).

From hanging out in #gentoo-sparc compiling other things in 64 bit mode makes them slower. (most won't compile) A 64bit kernel is good because it lets you run 32bit and 64bit binaries.

You don't need the alias either to make your kernel. gcc-sparc64 will act as a drop-in replacement for egcs64-sparc, which among other things allows you to build 2.6 kernels (though not recommended at this time as the support for sparc and sparc64 is spotty).

Just to follow up, for labrador's concern. I have installed the rebuilt
kernels & modules on U2, U60 (SMP), and for
2.4.23-sparc-r1, the replacement compiler seems to have done fine.

I have been using gcc 3.x compiled kernels (2.4.x) for a very long time, there is one mailrelay machine (50k+ mails/day) with 200+ days of uptime. I did this because egcs compiled kernel weren't stable enough,

BTW: nice to see my gcc64 ebuild in the portage :)

You welcome, I needed it myself and by intergrating it in the portage just makes my life a bit easier.

Thanks for you concern :) Lately I am too busy (with goats and sheeps :) ) hopefully I will have some time after February and will get back to the IRC,

BTW and ciaranm congrats to your developership :lol:

Hmm. I must be having some weird errors then. I've tried all sorts of tricks and such to get gcc-sparc64 to build correctly, but every time I try, it fails:

make[2]: sparc64-unknown-linux-gnu-ar: Command not found

There doesn't seem to be a binutils64.... What am I missing?

Try reemerging binutils. Failing that, what's your CHOST?

It's currently sparc-unknown-linux-gnu

Does this need to be set to sparc64-uknown-linux-gnu when re-emerging binutils?

Thanks!

Ah, yeah, that seems to have been the problem the whole time. Sigh. And it's probably on a FAQ that I overlooked somewhere, too.

Figures.

(slinks off to the corner like a newbie and not like a linux user since '92.. :-( )
