I emerged a cross-compiler on my host.
It's not to compile to a different arch than my host, but to compile
with given versions of glibc/binutils, to be sure that some bins will
run on my target system.
    

If you aren't cross compiling, you could start a chroot using an
appropriate stage for your target architecture.  Then once you had the
appropriate toolchain set up in that chroot you could install packages
in that chroot, build them there and merge them to a different ROOT, or
even just build binary packages.  I don't think crossdev is necessary at
all for what you're trying to do.

As stated previously this is the "tiny gentoo" writeup on the gentoo wiki.=C2=A0 Works very nicely
