Can you add «CROSS_COMPILE=_CHOST_-» to:
1) default crossdev makefile (/usr/share/crossdev/etc/portage/make.conf)
2) default environment while building stages ;)

(For example it will help to build uclibc, which don't want to build without CROSS_COMPILE when crossdev building stages for mipsel-linux-uclibc target, but builds fine under <target>-emerge, when I add
CROSS_COMPILE=mipsel-linux-uclibc-
UCLIBC_CPU="MIPS_ISA_MIPS32"
to
target's make.conf

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. crossdev -t mipsel-linux-uclibc
2. wait untill it start build uclibc
3. watch like uclibc build fails ;)

we already have make.conf set CHOST/CBUILD.  nothing else is required to cross-compile packages.
