You're using the wrong kernel or profile depending on your perspective. Either switch to 2006.1/2.4 if you plan on sticking with a 2.4 kernel or switch to a 2.6 kernel. The 2006.0 and 2006.1 profiles (without trailing /2.4) are intended for 2.6 kernels ONLY. Actually your system might be broken in a way that your machine won't be able to reboot, so i suggest you change to a 2.6 kernel or change back to a 2.4 profile (which won't be supported for long) and rebuild linux-headers & glibc. glibc-2.5 must use nptl btw, it's masked on 2.4 profiles to avoid this kind of problems.
ah ok... so is it worth using 'sparc-sources' or shall I simply switch to gentoo-sources for a sparc machine as well?
sparc-sources = 2.4 kernel only. gentoo-sources = 2.6 recommended now. if you want grsec you can use hardened-sources but you'll need to package.keywords enable it (it's just ~sparc). also note that we don't fully support these with sparc patches (should work mostly fine depending on machine model).
Created attachment 117232 [details] Buildlog of glibc ebuild on sparc system
note that this is basically bug #173263 and the workaround is USE=nptlonly (on sparc32). apparently linuxthreads/sparc got some bitrot and no longer compiles, hence the need for nptlonly, which then forces the use of linux 2.6 of course. now this works for sparc32, sparc64 still fails because the glibc ebuild explicitly disables TLS support there which in turn still enables linuxthreads... i guess the want_nptl or the want_tls logic needs a change (want_tls says something about TLS already being supported on sparc64 since glibc-2.3.6).
