This is extremely good.

The biggest problem with SpareMiNT is obsolete packages. It seems that 
with Gentoo it will be easier to keep up to date.

And as you already have updated the kernel, gcc, coreutils, perl... the 
other packages less related to the underlying OS should be quite easy to 
port.
