you'd have to use per-package env manually:
/etc/portage/env/$CATEGORY/$PN

but crossdev likes to clobber this file for you. so i guess i should extend
crossdev with --env-xxx options so people can add their own.

we take what glibc offers via their glibc-ports package. personally, i do 0
embedded powerpc work, so i dont know of any "alternatives" or such.

if they did exist though, the only way currently to get them transparently
added would be to make a big patch out of them and then use the user patch
interface (put patches into /etc/portage/patches/$CATEGORY/$P/).

OK, I was mainly after some decent mem*() functions as the ones provided
usually perform badly for embedded CPUs

hmm, maybe I could make up my own dummy ports pkg for my cpu. That way
I could probably make glibc accept my cpu conf too.

drepper already voiced his opinion -- these embedded cpu optimizations werent
going to be added to the main glibc tree. but he has no problem with them
being "dumped" into the glibc-ports tree and because of the way things are
structured, that should work for you.

so if you have some per-cpu trees to overlay, e-mail them to the glibc-ports
list so they can get merged.

ive added --[bklg]env options to current crossdev git if you want to try out
the 99999999 ebuild for me

Tried it with:
TARGET="powerpc-4.4.4_softfloat-linux-gnu"
export EXTRA_ECONF="--without-long-double-128 --with-dwarf2 --without-fp --with-fp=soft --disable-64-bit-bfd"


crossdev \
-s3 \
--genv EXTRA_ECONF="--with-cpu=e300c2 --without-long-double-128 --with-dwarf2 --without-fp --with-fp=soft --disable-64-bit-bfd" \
--ex-gdb \
--libc 2.11.2 \
--binutils 2.20.1-r1 \
--gcc 4.4.4-r2 \

Got better when I changed
--genv EXTRA_ECONF=" .... "
to
--genv EXTRA_ECONF='" .... "'

This is should be documented or changed to not require ''

Hovever this is still there:

Similar for linux-headers:
# make sure multilib crap doesn't screw us over
ABI=pos
LIBDIR_pos="lib"
CFLAGS_pos=
CPPFLAGS_pos=
CXXFLAGS_pos=
LDFLAGS_pos=

hmm, this looks wrong, suggest:

it isnt feasible to auto quote the contents. you will need to account for
them yourself. consider the fact that this supports multiple variables, so
your quoting example here is limited.
