Problem generating toolchain with crossdev

drasnor

I'm using Gentoo on AMD64 and am trying to build a toolchain for building i586. I tried just simply running crossdev --target i586-pc-linux-gnu but it builds the absolute latest versions of the toolchain packages even if those versions are masked or hardmasked (eg it builds gcc 4.x). It fails on glibc with a recommendation to set nptl and nptlonly in my USE flags.

I set nptl and nptlonly in my USE flags and tried specifying the proper versions of the tools I want but now it's failing to compile gcc:

jormungand drasnor # crossdev --b 2.16.1 --g 3.4.4-r1 --k 2.6.11-r2 --l 2.3.5-r2 -v --target i586-pc-linux-gnu

Any ideas?

I've not tried it going from amd64 to anything, just from i686 to mips I sort of followed this guys howto

don't know if it will help or not.
