I have installed .904 on a couple systems, and so far all seems well. For reference, USE flags in effect are:
===============================================
x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.1.904 (-3dfx) (-3dnow) +bitmap-fonts -cjk -debug +dlloader -dmx -doc -font-server +hardened -insecure-drivers -ipv6 -minimal (-mmx) +nls +opengl +pam -sdk (-sse) -static +truetype-fonts +type1-fonts (-uclibc) +xaa -xprint +xv
================================================

As far as I can see, this release builds the /usr/include directories
correctly, and it is running as expected on U60(Elite graphics) and
U2(Creator graphics), both with xaa patch to sunffb.

A couple notes:
1. opengl-update still likes /usr/X11R6/include, and probably shouldn't.
2. Concerning sparc patches at Bug 79467:  The sunleo patch is required,
   I believe, pending testing.  Weeve and perhaps a couple other people
   will provide feedback.  I am unable to test it beyond verifying that
   it installs as I have it in the patch and the resulting sunleo driver
   builds.  The patch is required until freedesktop releases it as part
   of their distribution (6.9.x?).

   The sunffb+xaa patch right now I have as optional (on USE=xaa).
   Unless freedesktop adds it to the distribution for 6.8.2, for the
   6.8.2 release I'd prefer to keep it optional on USE=xaa, simply
   because it does change the functionality of the sunffb driver.  I do
   not feel strongly about this, however, and if the sparc community
   comes back with enthusiastic endorsement of it then there is no need
   to make it optional.  It should be provided one way or another
   however.

3. I know of no other sparc-specific patches.  I am sure gentoo-sparc
   will make their preferences or complaints known if there should be
   any others.

If more details are needed, just ask me directly or comment at Bug 79467.

Thanks,
