Doing a new install. I got to the part about editing make.conf. I used a
stage3 tarball on x86 from the 2005.1-r1 release.

/code
make.conf
CFLAGS="-0s -mcpu=i686 -pipe"
CHOST="i386-pc-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
/end code

I am not sure why CHOST="i386-pc-linux-gnu". Even make.conf.example says

"All modern systems (even Athalons) should use "i686-pc-linux-gnu"

Read that as "are capable of using" rather than "should use" and it
makes more sense.



Solution 2) Don't use the supplied stageball and instead download another one from a mirror using wget or whatever. The most "optimal"
choice for you is: 
>releases/x86/2005.1-r1/stages/pentium4/stage3-pentium4-2005.1-r1.tar.bz2

Thank you for the informative reply. In the past I must have alwasy selected the stage3-pentium4 without paying much attention. I will go for solution 2. And remember this for the future.
