33 How do I turn my gcc into a 'proper cross-compiler' and get a correct
34 toolchain? Is it sufficient to include these two lines in
35 /etc/portage/package.use:
36
37 sys-devel/distcc crosscompile
38 sys-devel/binutils multitarget
39
40 and in /etc/portage/package.keywords
41
42 sys-devel/distcc ~x86
43
44 and re-emerge distcc and binutils? I will include that information in my
45 bug and close it ;)

50 Doesn't matter. If it's needed, someone will build one.

52 Thanks for your help,
