Although I think the current embedded profile needs some love, I noticed that /usr/portage/profiles/embedded/make.defaults has: # Variables that are set exclusively by the profile # and not by user configuration files. PROFILE_ONLY_VARIABLES="ARCH ELIBC IUSE_IMPLICIT KERNEL USERLAND USE_EXPAND_IMPLICIT USE_EXPAND_UNPREFIXED USE_EXPAND_VALUES_ARCH USE_EXPAND_VALUES_ELIBC USE_EXPAND_VALUES_KERNEL USE_EXPAND_VALUES_USERLAND" Removing ARCH from this list fixes the "ARCH is not set.." problem. This is a quick fix we could do for now. I don't know if this has any negative implications though. Jocke
