Thanks.
Seems like I missed a major design concept of catalyst. Might I have skipped the documentation that specifies this concept? I've read the manpage, as-well-as http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_build_a_LiveCD_with_Catalyst_for_newbies, the FAQ and the examples. But I couldn't really infer this from any of those.

More so, In the catalyst FAQ (http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/releng/catalyst/faq.xml), I read:

when catalyst builds a stage1, the stage1 itself does not inherit any binaries or libraries from the seed that is used.

Is that FAQ obsolete? the "seed" is the original stage3, right? Looks like my stage1 (and the livecd stage too) did in-fact inherit binaries from the seed.

So, I'm confused. Which parts of the liveCD get built and which are just copied from the initial stage3 tarball?

*Everything* is copied from the stage3 tarball. That's how catalyst works. Each step builds upon the previous step.
