I was able to successfully bootstrap from stage 1 to stage 2 on a SunBlade 100 with a 550 Ultrasparc IIe. I am using gentoo 2004.1 for Sparc 64. When I attempt to go from stage 2 to stage 3, emerge system refuses to proceed past python-fchksum and fails with syntax errors. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge system 2. 3.

*smack* emerge system. not world.
If this isn't already fixed, can you try emerge sync'ing and have another go. If it is fixed now, please let me know. Thanks.
I'm pretty sure this has been fixed for a while. Please reopen if not.
