Hi,

sage-on-gentoo and sage are still on the 3.1.x branch. There is some 
work to go 4.0, I don't think 4.0.0 or 4.0.2 should matter too much.

I cannot talk for 4ti2 but flint certainly should work on ppc64.
I unfortunately don't have gentoo running on the ppc(64) hardware
I have access to [it's not mine personally] but the stuff compiles
and runs happily on that hardware.
