Basically, the problem was that the ebuild was attempting to copy a file after make install had completed. The problem with the copying was that it was using the output of uname -m to determine the file name. Since we have to build dietlibc as if we were on a sparc machine rather than sparc64, the output of uname wasn't what we wanted and was trying to copy a file with sparc64 in the path rather than sparc. Ebuild has been fixed and committed. Wait the usual hour or so for it to show up on your rsync mirror and enjoy!
