I'm going to try to keep all future discussion of this in this thread |
| 2 |
for now on. |

If you've kept up with the sparc list lately (seems like very few people |
| 5 |
do these days) i've been working on fixing up the sparc port to include |
| 6 |
a pure 64bit port. Basically here is where we stand in regard to the |
| 7 |
completion of this project. |

The profiles have all been reworked quite a bit, which is why i feel the |
| 24 |
need to test all of them thoroughly. |

It's also worth noting that at this moment i am not an official Gentoo |
| 27 |
developer, although i am working towards having that goal met in the |
| 28 |
very near future. So at this point it's possible all of my work is junk |
| 29 |
as no one has really looked over it but me :p, so keep that in mind. |

That being said, i am posting this from an Ultra 45 with ZFS and a |
| 31 |
native 64bit userland ;) |

Ok, so now on to an issue... |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
pciutils will not compile on sparc64, which i believe could be udev |
| 36 |
related. See the error below. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
../../lib64/libudev.so: Only registers %g[2367] can be declared using |
| 39 |
STT_REGISTER |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
It seems like systemd also has a similar issue. |

Originally it was decided to use the old sparc keyword for sparc32 and |
| 45 |
sparc64, but in this case we have an app that will compile on sparc32 |
| 46 |
but not sparc64. How should this be handled? A new keyword would be a |
| 47 |
pain, so is there another way of dealing with this? |
