With sys-devel/crossdev-20150602 trying to cross compile an ARM architecture (e.g., armv7a-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi ) will fail if the toolchain overlay ( git://anongit.gentoo.org/proj/toolchain.git ) is loaded. The main crossdev command being used is: crossdev -S -t armv7a-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi Other ARM variants were tried with the same error: * glibc failed :( * If you file a bug, please attach the following logfiles: * /var/log/portage/cross-armv7a-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi-info.log * /var/log/portage/cross-armv7a-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi-glibc-headers.log.xz * /var/tmp/portage/cross-armv7a-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi/glibc*/temp/glibc-config.logs.tar.xz (i.e., it dies with a patching issue with glibc. This is due to the version of glibc it selects. This is still true if one manually specifies which glibc to use --which it ignores: it still tried the same version as above.) Before figuring out how to work around the problem, I also tried specifying the specific versions of binutils, gcc, glibc, etc. (e.g., --b =2.20-r2 --g =4.8.5 --k =4.0.9 --l =2.20-r2) but oddly crossdev would still select its own versions! This is what lead me to suspect the problem was due to how crossdev was using/interacting with overlays, i.e., in particular the overlay with glibc, etc.: toolchain. This was especially the case since glibc v2.16 is only present in that overlay. This behaviour with crossdev even occurs with the toolchain overlay masked: /etc/portage/package.mask/amd64: */*::toolchain and I also tried adding such to: /usr/armv7a-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi/etc/portage/package.mask: */*::toolchain but that didn't seem to work either. So, instead, I extracted the toolchain stanza out of: /etc/portage/repos.conf/layman.conf: [toolchain] priority = 50 location = /var/lib/layman/toolchain layman-type = git auto-sync = yes and put it into /etc/portage/repos.conf/layman-toolchain.conf. Clearly, if one tries: crossdev -S -t armv7a-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi it will still fail --but if one moves layman-toolchain.conf outside of the repos.conf directory, e.g., cd /etc/portage/repos.conf mv layman-toolchain.conf ~/ crossdev -C armv7a-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi emerge --deselect y cross-armv7a-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi/linux-headers cross-armv7a-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi/binutils cross-armv7a-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi/gcc cross-armv7a-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi/glibc and then run: crossdev -S -t armv7a-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi then crossdev runs correctly without issues. (It is important to run crossdev -C to clear out the builds made and to deselect them to avoid warnings about the world file.) I have observed and tested this on two Gentoo installations. NOTE: sys-devel/crossdev-20150602, sys-apps/portage-2.2.20.1, app-portage/layman-2.3.0 (~amd64 version). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add the toolchain overlay (if not already present): layman -a toolchain 2. Later use crossdev -t ARCH to cross-compile to ARM. NOTE: It will not fail if similar to your current ARCH, e.g., mingw32 on amd64 will crossdev without issues. For sure, ARM will fail --I didn't try other ARCHs. Actual Results: (Answered in the description above.) Expected Results: crossdev should have properly recognized the hard-masked, masked, etc. packages in the toolchain overlay and ignore them. If such is not possible, then it should say what to do in order to have it ignore it. emerge --info ============= Portage 2.2.20.1 (python 2.7.10-final-0, default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/kde,
