Unless you are using ancient versions of util-linux and glibc, I do not think that
the testsuites are passing on sparc64 on Gentoo. Those packages have actual bugs
which need to be addressed.
Jose Marchesi recently addressed one alignment issue in glibc as mentioned in
another mail, see:

If you file a sparc64-specific bug in Debian. please add the following below the
keyword list at the top of the bug report mail as generated by the reportbug
utility:
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-sparc@lists.debian.org
User: debian-sparc@lists.debian.org
Usertags: sparc64
This makes sure the bugs are tagged as sparc64 bugs and the list gets informed automatically
about the bugs getting filed.
