Either the package you are building has a bug in the build system and
calls gcc instead of $CC or your cross-compiler is screwed up. You can
test the compile doing the following:

cd /tmp && echo "int main(void) { return 0; }" >> test.c &&
armv5tel-softfloat-linux-gnueabi-gcc -o test test.c && file test

Check if the file that is built by the compiler is an arm binary. If
this is the case, check if

emerge-armv5tel-softfloat-linux-gnueabi --root-deps=rdeps <package>

works. If this does not work, try to dig into the autoconf/automake
code of the package and find the point where the wrong compiler is
used (you should probably see this in the build.log).

Best regards and good luck! ;-)
