Description Dennis Schridde 2010-10-14 14:51:26 UTC 
Following snippet is from emerge-wrapper as shipped in sys-devel/crossdev-20101011:
    LIBC="__LIBC__"
    case ${CHOST} in
        *gnu*)    LIBC=glibc ;;
        *uclibc*) LIBC=uclibc ;;
        *)        emit_setup_warning ;;
    esac

It does not recognize *mingw* as valid CHOST, thus generates a warning and  __CHOST__ and __LIBC__ as values to CHOST and ELIBC in /usr/$chost/etc/make.conf.
This should probably fixed to something like:
    case ${CHOST} in
        *gnu*)    LIBC=glibc ;;
        *uclibc*) LIBC=uclibc ;;
        *mingw*)  LIBC=mingwrt ;;
        *)        emit_setup_warning ;;
    esac

(I have not thoroughly tested what impact the wrong ELIBC/CHOST setting in make.conf has.)

Reproducible: Always

Please test this setting as we are not likely to.
