Hi
We were able to install the cross compiler binary packages. The commands
used were as follows:-
$ echo cross-${CTARGET} >> /etc/portage/categories
$ emerge -k binutils
$ emerge -k gcc
$ emerge -k glibc
$ emerge -k linux-headers

The above series of commands installs the cross compiler packages
present in /usr/portage/packages/cross/${CTARGET}/

Regards
Suma Sharma

The error message is quite explicit, All is not a recognised category,
you need to create a symlink to the package in $PKGDIR/sys-devel then do

emerge -K1 =sys-devel/binutils-2.18-r1
