you mean something like this one? https://github.com/sjnewbury/multilib-overlay/blob/80c9fd20cfd05481ac19edcadd56ad5e578a8930/eclass/multilib-native.eclass That was the original eclass allowing cross-compile support, but required ebuilds to inherit it. multilib-portage is based on this, but does not require to modify the ebuilds themselves. -- Thomas Sachau Gentoo Linux Developer
