Hi all,
 
I'm new to Gentoo embedded and fairly new to Gentoo, so I apologize if I
am missing something obvious. I'm having trouble getting the crossdev
toolchain up and running with a current portage sync.  Could someone
please point me in the direction of fixing this?
 
Here's what I'm seeing:
 
buildhost ~ # crossdev -t i686-unknown-linux-gnu
