How do I cross compile packages?

I've had a quick look for this information, but I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. I've got two comps running Gentoo. My main one is an XP 1900, and the other a P3 700. I've installed 1.4 on the XP system, but the other is still running 1.2 and I'd like to upgrade it too. Can I use the XP system to compile binaries for the P3? Stuff like X that would take a few hours to compile. I know about --buildpkg for emerge, but how do I pass it the correct optimisations for the P3 instead of the XP? Or is there another way to do it?

There are many many threads about how to do this with optimizations and all, please search the forums. I understand that the searching capabilities can be frusterating at best, but the information is there. Here is a thread to get you started.
