Replying to my own so this doesn't get too deep. |

No Grand Unified Theory of Everything yet, but I have an idea that may at |
| 4 |
least solve the multilib and crosscompilation support issues other than gcc |
| 5 |
itself.. very rudimentary, mind you. |

Thoughts in random order: |

|
| 9 |
Specifying a toolchain implies package atoms, binary names and any parameters. |
| 10 |
Each profile specifies what toolchain should be used for its own arch. |
| 11 |
Each profile specifies what toolchain would be required from a host arch. |
| 12 |
A profile can specify another profile to use for compiling for a different |
| 13 |
arch destined for the same root. |
| 14 |
Packages for a different arch cannot be merged into a root unless specified by |
| 15 |
the profile. |
| 16 |
New atom type: cat/pkg&arch <-- substitute whatever token feels good. |
| 17 |
/var/db/pkg/${ARCH}/ <-- packages are always slotted by arch |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
No time to put these thoughts in to paragraphs but I hope you get the idea.. |

Still to come: Dynamic slots.. How did we get so off topic? |
