Description Jacob Godserv 2010-01-21 18:05:51 UTC

crossdev's emerge-wrapper script does not set CTARGET. While this variable is not terribly important outside toolchain building, a few packages are known to use it. From the Embedded handbook concerning CTARGET:

"[Defines the] Platform the binaries built by cross-toolchain will run on. Redundant, but there's no harm in setting this, and a few binaries do like it."

If this could be added to the emerge-wrapper script, it would be one less thing to worry about when cross-compiling.

Reproducible: Always

CTARGET matters when compiling the cross-compiler, not when cross-compiling packages with the cross-compiler

unless you have an actual error to show here ...
