What about crossdev? wouldn't that work?

Could someone please tell me how to build stages from scratch?
catalyst is used to build all stages [natively], from scratch is done by hand

I mean, I want to have gentoo installed into the new target that does
not have binary stage[123] released.
Precisely, my target is sh3/sh4-nofpu, sh(SuperH) variant which has
no floating point arith. I know sh is not really new, but these
can not execute current sh (experimental)release, which is sh4 binary.
we dont exactly have a document covering initial porting ... about the closest
we have so far is:
http://dev.gentoo.org/~vapier/PORTING-HOWTO
i guess i should add some sections for how to bootstrap yourself using
Gentoo ...
Now I'm trying to cross-build stage1 by xmerging each packages on PC.
But, It seems that I have to stop xmerging prematually, because there
are some packages which are difficult to cross build (like perl).
Perhaps, I will continue build natively with the incomplete stage
(stage0.5?) on the target, later.
I wonder if it is right way or not.
What it should be? How really were currently released stages built?
it's fine if you skip some packages like perl ... the critical things really
are the toolchain (gcc/binutils/libc), portage (so python too), and the
lowlevel utils (baselayout/gawk/sed/grep/etc...)
once you have those, you should be able to boot up natively and finish doing
`emerge` on the sh3 machine
