40 You are correct, unmerging the gcc did the trick.

47 I'm a bit confused. I had those defined while crossdev was running. It
48 might explain some of the problems I've had.

51
52 Just to be clear; I am executing the following, is it OK?
53
54 -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
55 SYSROOT="/usr/arm-softfloat-linux-uclibc"
56 UCLIBC_CPU="ARM920T" USE="-*" crossdev -v -S --gcc 3.4.6-r2 --ex-gdb
57 --target arm-softfloat-linux-uclibc
58
59 -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
60
61 Apart from having to create an empty
62 $SYSROOT/usr/include/asm/page.h
63 the toolchain builds.
64
65 I came to a erroneous conclusion of setting CBUILD, CHOST, CTARGET and
66 PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT during crossdev execution from (mis)reading this
67 documentation:
68 http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/cross-development.xml
69
70 Is this document out of date? It mentions setting the ROOT variable, but
71 crossdev complained that ROOT was not supported... Maybe ROOT is not
72 intended to be used with crossedev, in which case it's another
73 misunderstanding on my part.
74
75 Is there a document I should read that might help?
76
77 Thank you very much for your help, Jason.
78
79 PS - About the top-posting, it was a mistake on my part, thanks to those
80 who pointed it out.
