18 There isn't a whole lot that's broken about it actually -- the main
19 issue is that the default 'embedded' profile doesn't allow all of the
20 variable overrides in it that are necessary for the crossdev to work
21 properly. See bug http://bugs.gentoo.org/487310
22
23 The crossdev that's created will provide all the necessary profile
24 overrides to allow you to emerge the things you want, and of course
25 compile your own things as well. There's no need for a special prefix
26 (or 'prefix/*' profile) in order to support this, IMO, once the
27 embedded profile permits the overrides necessary to the ARCH, ELIBC,
28 and KERNEL variables that the crossdev tool already sets.
