I'm trying to set up a PSP cross-compiler (using patches that are not in portage), and for that, I have set up symlinks in /etc/portage/overlay/cross-psp pointing to /var/portage/sys-devel/{binutils,gcc}. emerge can handle this without a problem. But ebuild can't: it tries to install the system toolchain instead. $ sudo emerge cross-psp/binutils Calculating dependencies... done! >>> Emerging (1 of 1) cross-psp/binutils-2.17 to / * binutils-2.17.tar.bz2 MD5 ;-) ...
