While trying to emerge -ua world from a gentoo 2005.1 to a 2006.0 It seems that glibx does not build because of the kernel beeing too low, but there is no kernel 2.6 availaible in sparc-sources neither in gentoo-sources, they are all being masked. Which 2.6 kernel should I use. I have a sun sparc ultra 5. I'am a already with a 2.4.32 kernel. while emerging I got this : >>> emerge (6 of 63) sys-libs/glibc-2.3.5-r3 to / >>> md5 files ;-) glibc-2.3.6-r1.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) glibc-2.3.6-r2.ebuild >>>

Well, so either - switch to 2.4 profile - or 'echo "sys-kernel/gentoo-sources ~sparc" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords' and upgrade your kernel - or remove nptl from your use flags
As Jakub says, you MUST use the 2006.0/2.4 profile for the "stable" (and 2.4) branch. The plain 2006.0 profile is for 2.6 kernels which aren't currently keyworded stable because they aren't on all machine models where 2.4 is. If we keyworded 2.6 stable most people would want to switch and they'd get bad results in some cases. That being said you can check http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/sparc/sunhw.xml for success/failure reports for specific hardware. Ultra 5 machines do fine with 2.6.
