It wasn't to make a package to distribute but to make faked packages for
the target system:
basically, sys-kernel/linux-headers and sys-libs/glibc (gentoo
embedded). The entire toolchain shouldn't be installed on the target
(and will not run). And, yeah, I should have rebuilt
libc but importing faked package from the toolchain was easier and less
time consuming.

For correcting what ? changing -3 to -6 in the documentation ? or using
-3 everywhere ?
which is what my previous patch did (with the add of the --no-name
option to which is pretty harmful, IMHO).
