I have it set up on my laptop. I admit it's been a while since I used it, but I know it worked at one point. Though I was using it on a standard PC, the best source of information I found on the process was the Gentoo Embedded Handbook: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/handbook/?part=1 The whole first section is on setting up a cross-compiler, just substitute i686-pc-linux-gnu for your target architecture.
