Hi, It has been a while since I last checked that. When trying to run the wrapper, I get: * ARCH is not set... Are you missing the '/usr/arm-unknown-linux- * gnueabi/etc/portage/make.profile' symlink? Is the symlink correct? Is * your portage tree complete? I first thought that the problem is the location of the symlink of make.profile, so I moved it from etc to etc/portage, but problem remained. If I enforce ARCH, it seems to be OK: ARCH="arm" USE="-cxx -python -zlib -client" /usr/bin/emerge-arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi sys-devel/gdb I cross-emerge does set the correct make.conf. CHOST=arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi CBUILD=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu ARCH=arm So I am unsure why is it missing... I see in /usr/lib/portage/pym/_emerge/Scheduler.py where it is checked, but unsure why make.conf is not considered. Any clue?
