Alternatively, what I've done in the past, was actually natively compile
badly behaved packages using Qemu/ARM.
This is naturally slightly slower.

Hello,
i've read the mail from Corey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (dd. 2006-11-20 03:13:19 GMT).
The problem is that the build process compiles a test program for the
destination platform and afterwards it tries to execute it.
This will never work when cross compiling.
Are there any workarounds available (patches for the ebuild, etc.) ?

Petric
There are a lot of packages like this that come this way from upstream
Options that have worked for me
1. modify the configure script and/or makefiles to not run the test program
2. In a few cases i complied gcc for my ARM platform, then compiled
natively.. I think perl was one of these.. It took hours to compile..
