I didn't see this behavior on x86 nor x86_64. I have fpc-2.2.0 installed (there was a bug mentioning self-dependency for fpc, si just in case..): # emerge -pv fpc These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

This looks like it has been broken for a long time in the same manner for sparc, but apparently we have had no sparc fpc users to notice it. I'm working on a fix.
I've updated fpc-2.2.2.ebuild to look for the bootstrap compiler in the correct path. Thanks for the report.
