Well... You need a reasonably complete system to build a toolchain, hence the stage 3 seed. Building a toolchain with a different CHOST is pretty close to cross-compiling, so the only way you can do it safely is to start from scratch, hence building up from a stage 1. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Supreme Lord Gerbil Wrangler) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
