[gentoo-embedded] Problems using crossdev

[Daniel Vergien <daniel.vergien@rrz.uni-hamburg.de>]

Hi list,

I just try to use sys-devel/crossdev. I follow the embedded handbook 
(http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/handbook/index.xml)

I've created a toolchain with:

crossdev -t i686-pc-linux-uclibc

Using the i686-pc-linux-uclibc-gcc also worked like in the handbook.

As the next step I wanted to get the cross-emerge like in section 3.

I've set:
CBUILD=i686-pc-linux-gnu
CHOST=i686-pc-linux-uclibc
SYSROOT=/usr/i686-pc-linux-uclibc
ROOT=$SYSROOT
PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT=$SYSROOT

and added sys-devel/crossdev ~* to my package.keywords

but "emerge crossdev" fails like this:

gentoo-dev ~ # emerge --verbose --pretend crossdev


!!! /usr/i686-pc-linux-uclibc/etc/make.profile is not a symlink and 
will probably prevent most merges.
!!! It should point into a profile within /usr/portage/profiles/
!!! (You can safely ignore this message when syncing. It's harmless.)


!!! If you have just changed your profile configuration, you should revert
!!! back to the previous configuration. Due to your current profile being
!!! invalid, allowed actions are limited to --help, --info, --sync, and
!!! --version.


Have I done something wrong with the environment settings? Since It's 
not really clear to me if I have to have them all.

Regards

Daniel
