Hi Mike, Is this the document that you are referring to.. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/handbook/index.xml. I was going through multiple documentations and since none of them was completely appliable for my environment I was doing a mix and match and endded up in trouble. I think I should be modifying the make.conf of sysroot i.e$SYSROOT/etc/make.conf. This I need to do after running the crossdev utility right. Let me see how it goes.
