patch

Hi,

Please find attached a diff for updating the kernel part of the handbook.

The current gcc allows to build 64bit kernels, so there's no need for using the cross-compiler. Its being removed from the profile and p.masked in the sparc profile.

Thanks

Thanks, changed.

For future reference, the page on the handbook where the SPARC-specific kernel configuration is at is https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:SPARC/Blocks/Kernel. You're free to update it yourself if you want (but if not, bugs are still fine ;-)
