"Any day now" X-modular (xorg-x11-7.0-xx) will be unmasked. I have
attached a few notes aimed at sparc users (or at anyone who requires
(mod 64) address alignment for 64-bit data items.) I believe the note to
be accurate, but I do not warrant it against defects, omissions, etc. (so
to speak). It is also available on-line at:
http://dev.gentoo.org/~fmccor/files/X-modular.sparc-upgrade

Reason for this sparc-specific is contained in point -6- in the note.
There is a bug in the xorg-server build (see
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5622 for details) which
necessitates use of an extra CFLAG --- -D__GLX_ALIGN64 --- when building
xorg-x11-7.0-xx. (This is not strictly correct. By chance, you might
not need this extra -D... added to your CFLAGS. But if you do need it and
do not add it, the end result will be very unpleasant for you.)

If you don't run xorg-x11 keyworded ~sparc, you may safely discard this
email before reading.

Hope this is useful (and mostly correct),
Regards,
Ferris
