this is easy to check in the eclass via $EBUILD_PHASE

i dont think the ebuild should care whether it's being cross-compiled ... any 
package should be cross-compilable so the ebuild should really be agnostic

in other words, the search path for the .config should always check $CTARGET 
subdirs followed by $CHOST followed by the normal $CATEGORY
