Ok, here is a pseudo-solution to the problem:
Thanks to the help of the Gentoo embedded IRC guys, the glibc succeed to 
compile and installed correctly (at least quite correctly). The 
following line did the trick:

ROOT=/usr/armv5te-softfloat-linux-gnu/ USE="arm" emerge 
cross-armv5te-softfloat-linux-gnu/glib

Headers are correctly installed in 
/usr/armv5te-softfloat-linux-gnu/include, but libs are installed in 
/usr/armv5te-softfloat-linux-gnu/armv5te-softfloat-linux-gnu/lib instead of
/usr/armv5te-softfloat-linux-gnu/lib. So I moved them manually to the 
right directory.

Someone suggested to try "emerge -B program ; ROOT=/blar emerge -K 
program". Maybe I will try it tomorrow to see if it both installs 
headers and libs correctly.

So I don't know if it is a bug from crossdev or from the ebuilds. Anyway 
you seem to be the right person to report it :)

Someone said to me that crossdev could not work in chrooted environment, 
while others affirmed that's not a problem.
Can it be the cause of the problem ?
