I've successfully compiled new kernel with ancient egcs64 from
http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/redhat/updates/6.0/sparc/egcs64-19980921-4.sparc.html

I wasn't sure if gentoo had cpio or rpm. I've never used gentoo before,
all I needed was a live linux cd.

Mea culpa, thanks for the info. I have recompiled it this way then.

Sorry, for various reasons I'm sticking with solaris on this one. To
name a few, weird, indeterministic behaviour of software raid and not
being able to tell hardware watchdog, that the system is OK and doesn't
need service (orange light constantly on, beeping, fine with solaris
booted. )
I've spent 2 days on this with my boss breathing on my neck. I really
don't have time to hack with it any further.
Have a good time,
Honza Vlach
