A work in progress that's mostly lacking in documentation.

Mostly up to this point we have mainly focused on native arch compilers
and getting our development environments setup and fixing bugs as they
show up.

Sorry not at this time.
perl/python I think need a few x-compile patches so a simple
cross-bootstrap is not achievable out of the gate as of yet. 
The goal however is to get better integration into the util known as
catalyst so that this would be easily achievable. 
Going by your 'signature' and a little bit of google I assume you should
not have many problems that you have not encountered in the past
already.

gcc-config is the tool used to select which compiler you wish to use.

But honestly fire up that old console based irc client and join us on
irc.gentoo.org #gentoo-embedded (living docs) Feel free to msg me there
referencing this thread..
