sys-devel/kgcc64 being removed on sparc64

sys-devel/kgcc64 is going to be removed from the sparc system package set since the normal sys-devel/gcc can, since version 4.4, build 64bit kernels.

Until now, you had to use CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE="sparc64-unknown-linux-gnu-" in your kernel configuration, but with sys-devel/kgcc64 going away, you need to remove that option. It will build a 64bit kernel.

I imagine this would make my sparc32 builds even more similar to the normal 64bit optimized gentoo stages?
