I am, crossdev's emerge wrapper uses emerge --root-deps=rdeps

hmm, this is very confusing. As is powerpc-g2.20-linux-gnu-emerge will pull
the virtual/libintl-0-r2 into my sysroot because it is newer than what I have in
my local gentoo repo config. This should not happen I think when using --root-deps=rdeps
or --root-deps only, it will break the sysroot sooner or later.
