[gentoo-amd64] crossdev x86 to x86_64

[Daniel Iliev <danny@ilievnet.com>]

I tried to use a x86 pc to aid the compiling of packages for amd64 via
distcc. I followed the official "DistCC Cross-compiling Guide" [1] but I
had no luck. Is it possible at all, am I doing something wrong or there
is a bug?

The i686 pc gives:

localhost ~ # crossdev -t x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
 * You need to set PORTDIR_OVERLAY in your make.conf.
 * A standard setting is /usr/local/portage
localhost ~ # echo PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage >> /etc/make.conf
localhost ~ # crossdev -t x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
!!! Invalid PORTDIR_OVERLAY (not a dir): '/usr/local/portage'
!!! Invalid PORTDIR_OVERLAY (not a dir): '/usr/local/portage'

localhost ~ # mkdir /usr/local/portage
