Insert the Gentoo CD and boot
boot: ramdisk
# mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt
# chroot /mnt/root-`uname -m` bin/bash
  # source /etc/profile
  # mount -n /dev/hda3 /mnt gentoo
  # cd /mnt/gentoo
  # dhcpcd eth0
  # wget http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo/releases/1.4_rc4/sparc/sparc32/stage1-sparc64-1.4_rc4.tbz2
  # bunzip2 -c stage1-sparc64-1.4_rc4.tbz2 | tar xvpf -
  # nano etc/resolve.conf
  # rm etc/make.profile
  # mount -o bind /proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
  # chroot /mnt/gentoo bin/bash
    # source /etc/profile
    # emerge sync
    # ln -s /usr/portage/profiles/default-sparc64-1.4 /etc/make.profile
    # /usr/portage/scripts/bootstrap.sh
    # export CONFIG_PROTECT=""
    # emerge system
    # ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Pacific /etc/localtime
    # emerge sys-kernel/sparc-sources
    # cd /usr/src/linux
    # make menuconfig
    # make dep && make clean && make vmlinux && make modules && make modules_install
    # cp vmlinux /boot/vmlinux
    # cd /boot
    # gzip -9 vmlinux
    # mv vmlinux.gz vmlinuz
    # nano /etc/silo.conf
    # silo
    # exit
  # umount /mnt/gentoo/proc
  # umount /mnt/gentoo
  # exit
# reboot

After the reboot, I do the following:
# emerge nfs-utils
# /etc/init.d/nfslock start
# mount <server>://var/spool/sorcery /usr/portage/distfiles
# emerge -U world
# wget http://download.sourcemage.org/sorcery/sorcery-stable.tar.bz2
# tar xjf sorcery-stable.tar.bz2
# sorcery/install
# mount  --bind /var/spool/sorcery  /usr/portage/distfiles
# sorcery
Configure your optimizations for the SPARC you have (I chose combreloc, tiny, and strip)
Turn on CROSS_INSTALL in Options->Features
# scribe update (this will also copy the needed Sorcery files to /opt/cross-install/sparc<blah>-unknown-linux-gnu
# cast basesystem (glibc and module-init-tools will fail)

glibc error:
checking installed Linux kernel header files... TOO OLD!
configure: error: GNU libc requires kernel header files from
Linux 2.0.10 or later to be installed before configuring.
The kernel header files are found usually in /usr/include/asm and
/usr/include/linux; make sure these directories use files from
Linux 2.0.10 or later.  This check uses <linux/version.h>, so
make sure that file was built correctly when installing the kernel header
files.  To use kernel headers not from /usr/include/linux, use the
configure option --with-headers.

# cat /usr/include/linux/version.h
#define UTS_RELEASE "2.4.21"
#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 132117
#define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c))

# cat /opt/cross-install/sparc-unknown-linux-gnu/usr/include/linux/version.h
#define UTS_RELEASE "2.4.24"
#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 132120
#define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c))

Just found this in glibc/BUILD:
  --with-headers="${INSTALL_ROOT}/usr/src/linux/include/"

I haven't built a kernel for SMGL yet. ;) For now I'll just copy the Gentoo one from /usr/src/linux...

Well, now I'm past that problem, but back to my old problem:

If I try to chroot to finish the updates, I get:
# chroot /opt/cross-install/sparc-unknown-linux-gnu
chroot: /bin/bash: No such file or directory

Compiling bash statically ("static" option in Sorcery), it works, but the rest of the packages suffer the same problem (linking against Gentoo's /lib/libc.so.6 and /lib/ld-linux.so.2).
