[gentoo-sparc] X-modular on sparc.

[Ferris McCormick]

U60(2x450) kernel-2.6.14 came up cleanly under X-modular (afb=Elite
graphics).  As a result, I have modified my candidate build script at
http://dev.gentoo.org/~fmccor/files/X-modular.sh better to reflect the
actual order things build in, and to put as much as possible into the
world file.  If you have Creator or Elite graphics, you still must
install sunffb_drv.so by hand, as sketehed in
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4890 (but note that this
bug does not indicate the final steps, which are something like:
CFLAGS='-pipe -O2 -mcpu=ultrasparc[3]' ./configure
then, cd src
make -j2
cp .libs/sunffb_drv.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers
(The [3] means: on U2, U60, etc use '-mcpu=ultrasparc', on SB1000 and
other US3 systems, use '-mcpu=ultrasparc3'.))

Of course, if you try this, please read the script before using it, and
almost every package in it must be added to /etc/portage/package.unmask,
and each package in it must be present in /etc/portage/package.keywords
(e.g., 'x11-base/xorg-server ~sparc' (without the quote marks).)

Don't forget revdep-rebuild after the install.  Some packages (such as
graphviz) will have elements linked against libraries whose versions
have changed, and these packages must be rebuilt.

Any feedback welcome, post to list please,
Good luck,
Ferris
