If I use the following from the command line everything is happy with the value of ROOT 
 
CHOST=sparc-unknown-linux-gnu ROOT=/tmp/cross-sparc USE=build emerge --nodeps glibc 
ncurses 
 
If I create a shell script to do the same thing 
 
#/bin/bash 
CHOST=sparc-unknown-linux-gnu ROOT=/tmp/cross-sparc USE=build emerge --nodeps glibc 
ncurses 
 
I then have crosscompile.eclass think ROOT=/ and aborts. Even adding export 
ROOT=/tmp/cross-arm does not work.

Has this happen again 
 
I edited an ebuild the tried doing an emerge. Even though ROOT was set cross-check 
claimed it wasn't. I ran the same emerge command a second time and it worked.
