There isn't a whole lot that's broken about it actually -- the main
issue is that the default 'embedded' profile doesn't allow all of the
variable overrides in it that are necessary for the crossdev to work
properly.  See bug http://bugs.gentoo.org/487310

The crossdev that's created will provide all the necessary profile
overrides to allow you to emerge the things you want, and of course
compile your own things as well.  There's no need for a special prefix
(or 'prefix/*' profile) in order to support this, IMO, once the
embedded profile permits the overrides necessary to the ARCH, ELIBC,
and KERNEL variables that the crossdev tool already sets.
