This are changes I made to those files so I could cross compile and get the executables stripped.

2nd patch for /usr/lib/portage/bin

This patch contains the changes I have made locally to /usr/lib/portage/bin
trying to make it cross compiler friendly. I could not get the sed line in
prepstrip working after our chat in #gentoo-portage so still using my mods to
prestrip.

an example of what I am doing is

CBUILD is defined in my make.conf as i686-pc-linux-gnu so it is always defined.

ARCH=sparc ROOT=/tmp/cross emerge --nodeps
/usr/local/portage/arch-blank/linux-headers/linux-headers-2.4.20-r6.ebuild
CHOST=sparc-unknown-linux-gnu  ROOT=/tmp/cross emerge --nodeps glibc
CHOST=sparc-unknown-linux-gnu  ROOT=/tmp/cross emerge --nodeps ncurses
CHOST=sparc-unknown-linux-gnu  ROOT=/tmp/cross emerge --nodeps bash
CHOST=sparc-unknown-linux-gnu  ROOT=/tmp/cross emerge --nodeps fileutils

This gives me something that I can copy to my sparc then chroot into. With this
patch to /usr/lib/portage/lib all files are stripped and working.

I had also compiled ccache because it uses doexe to install the executables.
Without the mod to doexe the resulting ccache binary is useless. With the strip
mod it works.
