Why wouldn't it work? I'm working around an infelicity in crossdev-enabled
packages, where the USE flag for supporting multiple ABIs for the target
is masked by the profile for the build host, which is actually totally
irrelevant to the --enable-multilib configure option to (e.g.) newlib.
Is there some way to specify a totally different profile (per ARCH) for
cross-ARCH/* packages? (Ideally, it would only be somewhat seperate, in
case the build arch needs to determine some of the stuff, while the target
arch determines most of the important stuff for this sort of package.)
In any case, /etc/portage/profile is what I needed to know, thanks.
