I'm trying to build a generic stage1 using the stage3-x86-2006.1.tar.bz2

fails with the following error:

I wonder how the release team is producing the stage1's for 2007.0. Are
they masking glibc-2.5 or have they moved the sub-architecture for
stage1-x86 to something newer like i586?
There is a build problem with glibc-2.5 for the i386 CHOST. Rather than fix it
(which would be a lot of work for virtually no benefit), the minimum supported
CHOST has been changed to i486. Just set 'chost: i486-pc-linux-gnu' in your
stage1.spec. Unless you're planning on installing on an actual 386, this will
work fine for 486 and up.
