I was rebuilding the crossdev toolchain on a ~x86 (i686) distcc helper box for a x86 (i.e. Gentoo "stable") machine: crossdev --stable --target i486-pc-linux-gnu but it still built the latest versions in "testing" (for example gcc-4.2.2 instead of the correct gcc-4.1.2). I had to manually force the versions to get it right.
post the log files as attachments that were generated by crossdev as well as the files in /etc/portage/...
