Excellent, I've really not had the time to commit to getting crossdev 
for ARM working on Gentoo after I realised it was not going to be 
straight forward.

I'll try to find time to test out your overlay, I'll post back when I 
do. It would probably be useful to have some info on you page 
indication what kernel/headers and gcc version your Gentoo is running 
and above all what cross-dev you have build.

Thanks for sharing you efforts this will save a considerable ammount 
of duplicated effort once I get time to look into this.

thx.
