That's what I am suggesting should be fixed. All this cross-compiling talk is a side-track. However, Travis Tilley (Lv) clued me in anyway. For cross compilers, mod_php, et al the user may want the different instances merged with different use flags. > cross compiling toolchains need to be in ROOT=/ while the cross compiled > packages need to go in ROOT=/some/where/else I've also said this myself elsewhere in this thread.
