I have to admit I have such an environment. Native AMD 64bit machines (Dual Opteron and Athlon X2) with cross devs to i686 for Pentium M machines, and C3 for a VIA epia boards. I do not recall having any issues except: 1. OpenSSL required some hack 2. Had to make sure to compile kernels with 'make ARCH=...' It may be I have simply not run into any other packages with uname dependencies. Oh wait, there was the ivtv driver. I think they fixed the problem when I complained. What packages are giving you trouble? -- brian -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
