Well, see, I'm trying funny threats because I don't know how else to get it
through your head that you have no right to start masking packages that don't
belong to you when we won't fix your stupid pet bug.  And if you do so there
will be consequences.  By masking crossdev you'd effectively be masking the
whole tree for any number of archs.  Not to mention anyone building a
cross-compiler for their own use outside of portage.  There are several
high-profile groups that rely on crossdev.  Hell, several arch teams rely on
it.  You're suggesting we mask it because your particular corner-case doesn't
work.  Maybe I should start threatening to remove games when they don't run
on my video card.

If doing something dumb like installing a i686 crossdev toolchain on 
x86_64 breaks things, it's because you've done something dumb.  Stop doing
that and things should work better.
