Hi Daniel,

I did not try the steps in the handbook
but i tried the following two steps to get the cross-compile environment:

#emerge crossdev-wrappers
#emerge-wrapper --init

If this succeeded,you can now cross-emerge. if you check  /usr/${CTARGET}
you will find cross-
compile environment including portage configuration files in
/usr/${CTARGET}/etc.

I hope this helps you.

Mirage.
