Hi Mike,

Is this the document that you are referring to..
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/handbook/index.xml. I was going
through multiple documentations and since none of them was completely
appliable for my environment I was doing a mix and match and endded up in
trouble.

I think I should be modifying the make.conf of sysroot
i.e$SYSROOT/etc/make.conf. This I need to do after running the
crossdev utility
right.

Let me see how it goes.

Regards,
Phani
