1. eblits are broken in glibc. Another case of incorrect interpretation
of code sharing with love for breaking stable ebuilds. Plus I'd love to
add multilib flags to it but we'll likely doing that to main glibc as
well soon, if eblits don't get into our way.

2. crossdev is broken because it creates semi-random, unmaintained
ebuilds in randomly chosen overlay, those ebuilds relying on
toolchain.eclass behavior.

3. I don't have any real alternative design yet. However, one 
of the first ideas of changing crossdev is to replace copying ebuilds
with symlinking gcc ebuild directory. This will at least ensure proper
sync between real ebuilds and cross-ebuilds.
