I've been a sparc gentoo user for a few years (suse sparc previously)
and haven't had many issues at all.

Recently I came across the revdep-rebuild command.

This will help fix up any package dependancies that have occurred as
a result of upgraded libraries.

it's actually helped me clean up my system, and except for the odd
package, sparc isn't any more difficult than x86, which has been
pretty boring in its complexity.

what gentoo release are you running? =20
