Tested sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.24 on sparc. Compiles fine, the warnings I get are harmless: drivers/macintosh/Kconfig:121:warning: 'select' used by config symbol 'PMAC_APM_EMU' refers to undefined symbol 'APM_EMULATION' mm/sparse-vmemmap.c: In function 'vmemmap_verify': mm/sparse-vmemmap.c:64: warning: unused variable 'pfn' net/bluetooth/hci_sysfs.c: In function 'del_conn': net/bluetooth/hci_sysfs.c:335: warning: suggest parentheses around assignment used as truth value include/asm/parport.h:22: warning: 'dma_spin_lock' defined but not used drivers/video/aty/atyfb_base.c:2713: warning: 'aty_resume_chip' defined but not used WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x3fbf4): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:sun4v_ktsb_register (between 'smp_callin' and 'smp_fill_in_sib_core_maps') WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x405ec): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:sun4v_register_mondo_queues (between 'after_lock_tlb' and 'hv_cpu_startup') WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x4082c): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:sun4v_register_mondo_queues (between 'hv_cpu_startup' and 'sys32_exit') WARNING: vmlinux.o(.sun4v_2insn_patch+0x3d8): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: (there's also a discussion about these sun4v related warnings on the lkml(http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119867199528788&w=2)) Everything that worked in 2.6.23 still works. # emerge --info Portage 2.1.3.19 (default-linux/sparc/sparc64/2007.0, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.6.1-r0, 2.6.24-gentoo sparc64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.24-gentoo sparc64 sun4u Timestamp of tree: Sat, 26 Jan 2008 18:00:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 3.2_p17-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r6 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.10-r5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.24 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.23-r3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="sparc" CBUILD="sparc-unknown-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-mcpu=ultrasparc3 -mtune=ultrasparc3 -mvis -Wa,-Av8plusa -O2 -pipe -frename-registers" CHOST="sparc-unknown-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/X11/xkb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CPPFLAGS="-mcpu=ultrasparc3 -mtune=ultrasparc3 -mvis -Wa,-Av8plusa -O2 -pipe -frename-registers" CXXFLAGS="-mcpu=ultrasparc3 -mtune=ultrasparc3 -mvis -Wa,-Av8plusa -O2 -pipe -frename-registers" DISTDIR="/tmp/distfiles" FEATURES="collision-protect distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sanxbox strict test userfetch userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" LANG="de_DE.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="en de" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages --filter=H_**/files/digest-*" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local/layman/sunrise" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="64bit 7zip X a52 aac aalib alsa artworkextra audacious avahi blender-game bluetooth bzip2 caps cups custom-cflags cvs dbus dga divx dts dv dvd dvdread encode fat ffmpeg flac ftp fuse gd gif gimp gmedia gnome gnome-print gnomecanvas gpm grammar gtk hal hpn ieee1394 ithreads javascript jpeg jpeg2k lzo mad midi mjpeg mp2 mp3 mpeg mpeg2 mplayer musepack nautilus ncurses network networking nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin offensive ogg openal opengl opera pam png pnm quicktime realmedia regex ruby samba sdl slang smp sms sound soundex sparc speex spell sqlite3 ssl subversion svg symlink test theora threads tiff truetype tta unicode usb userlocales utils vcd vidix vim vim-syntax vim-with-x vorbis wma wmf wmp x264 xanim xcb xfce xine xinerama xorg xulrunner xv xvid zlib" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw copy dshare dsnoop extplug file hooks ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null rate route share shm" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" KERNEL="linux" LINGUAS="en de" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="mach64" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
