E-mail I received: """ Why no one has mentioned here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-sparc.xml?part=1&chap=7 that the sparc kernel needs to be compiled using: # CROSS_COMPILE=sparc64-unknown-linux-gnu- make Can you update the handbook?

Sparc team: is this correct?
Yes, for kernel >= 2.6.25 For reference see bug #214765, kernel-2.eclass also has an elog-message about this.
Yes.
Created attachment 188315 [details, diff] patch to add CROSS_COMPILE variable for kernel building FWIW, here is a patch to add the necessary environment variable for 64-bit kernel compilation.
Fixed in CVS. Thanks for the patch!
