This is unsolvable at the current time because of the way I use headers. Currently, crossdev snags headers from the kernel as well as from /usr/include. In theory, the correct mechanism would be to build glibc just a little bit to get usable headers out of it, but last time I gave this a shot, I didn't get very far. I'll probably try it again in the future, but until then, you really can't build x86 compilers on non-x86 hosts.
*** Bug 41988 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
It also failed building ppc on x86 (I had to do some manual modifications since the gcc-3.3.3_pre* dir didn't correspond with the ebuild-name). Log is attached in the second comment.
