Crossdev creates ebuilds on the fly, too, in this vein for a
cross-compiler with target alpha:
cross-alpha-unknown-linux-gnu/binutils
cross-alpha-unknown-linux-gnu/gcc
cross-alpha-unknown-linux-gnu/glibc
cross-alpha-unknown-linux-gnu/insight
cross-alpha-unknown-linux-gnu/linux-headers
It also adds to package.keywords/.mask/.unmask to give you
exactly the version you want. The ebuilds end up in
/usr/local/portage/ for me, but that might be configurable.

Tobias
