Description SpanKY gentoo-dev

the glibc ebuild forces CHOST rewriting on sparc in the case of the generic "sparc-*" which means glibc configures for "sparcv9-*" ... in a native build, this gets ignored as the host `gcc` is OK to use, but in a cross build, the cross-compiler `sparcv9-...` cannot be located which means it falls back to the host which means it bombs

 *          CBUILD:   x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
 *           CHOST:   x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
 *         CTARGET:   sparc-unknown-linux-gnu
 *      CBUILD_OPT:
 *     CTARGET_OPT:   sparcv9-unknown-linux-gnu

gcc-4.3.2 / glibc-2.9 seems to be OK now

issue was probably related to some of the configure scripts ive fixed along the way ...
