30 In the ebuild in dev-embedded/msp430-gcc is the following line:
31
32 is_crosscompile || die "Only cross-compile builds are supported"
33
34 I'm not sure exactly what it means, but it seems to mean that this
35 ebuild can only be used when cross-compiling, i.e. when building gcc to
36 _run_ on the msp430.
37
38 I want to build a cross-compiler, i.e. a gcc that will run on my x86_64
39 and create code to run on the msp430.
