There are a couple gotchyas to get things to compile correctly. First off, you must manually compile the kernel, because genkernel doens’t work to actually build the kernel itself.
You should generate a new config file as /usr/share/genkernel/parisc64/kernel-config, grab the current running kernel config file and put it there.
You need emerge kgcc64, and this:
Next, the kernel source has this bug in /usr/src/linux/arch/parisc/Makefile :
Under the ifdef CONFIG_64BIT section , change cross-compile to :
CROSS_COMPILE := hppa64-unknown-linux-gnu- ( at least, that’s what my hppa64 was named .. )
