but i came accross such warning
"Please set TARGET to the Gnu target identifier (e.g. pentium-linux)"

You can usually do this on the Makefile by setting CHOST. CFLAGS also count. Look into the the gcc man page for comprehensive info on the -march parameter.

Some people also do this:

CC=${CHOST}-gcc
CXX=${CHOST}-g++

So, the right compiler is called.

I can't help much with cross compiling anyway, because I've only done that a few times. But if you google for cross compiling in Gentoo or LFS, you might have some useful results.
