Greetings! |

I have a pile of systems (T5xxx, T3, a bunch of V2xx) that I'd like to |
| 4 |
resurrect. Since Oracle bought Sun, and has since all but abandoned the |
| 5 |
platform (Solaris no longer supports chips older than T4, and they |
| 6 |
stopped releasing Oracle Linux for SPARC way back), I'd like to help in |
| 7 |
getting Linux, Gentoo specifically, back onto the playing field. |

It has been a decade since I was last a heavy user of Gentoo, so forgive |
| 10 |
me as I re-learn much of the ecosystem. |

My first encountered "bug" is one that I see has already been reported: |

Silo doesn't want to compile. Because this is during the initial install |
| 17 |
phase, just getting to that point takes a while. I'm wondering if |
| 18 |
anybody has any tips or experience to share that would help me move past |
| 19 |
this blocker. |

Hopefully I'll have time to more fully dedicate to porting/development |
| 22 |
soon. For now, I'd just like to get a working environment on my T3-1. |
