[gentoo-amd64] crossdev and depclean

[Aggelos]

I followed the DistCC Cross-compiling Guide
(http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/cross-compiling-distcc.xml)
and run
crossdev -t i686
and, I guess, it built a full cross-toolchain targeting the i686
architecture on a x86_64 (amd64) machine.
Now, whenever I run (on the x86_64 machine)
emerge -av --depclean
it wants to unmerge those packages merged by crossdev, like:
cross-i686-pc-linux-gnu/binutils
cross-i686-pc-linux-gnu/linux-headers
cross-i686-pc-linux-gnu/glibc
cross-i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc

So, what should normally be done in this case?
The guide does not say anything about that issue...

Add one (or more) of these packages to /var/lib/portage/world, either 
manually or via emerge -n.

No. Now if you actually read the warning... -n == --noreplace.

# emerge --depclean -vp
[SNIP]
*** WARNING ***  Also study the list of packages to be cleaned for any obvious
*** WARNING ***  mistakes. Packages that are part of the world set will always
*** WARNING ***  be kept.  They can be manually added to this set with
*** WARNING ***  `emerge --noreplace <atom>`.  Packages that are listed in

And please don't top-post.

No, not at all.

People who press send without checking that what they've written makes

Always proofread carefully to see if you any words out.

Thanks for the idea. ;-)
Shouldn't that be taken care of, normally, from crossdev as part of its
use (but maybe I 'm asking too much)?
