Athlon-xp can make for i686, athlon, i586 and so on, but not for pentium3/4. the basic idea is : unpack stage3, prepare install , chroot, fix USE flags, start building GRP packages, save packages and then wipe the chroot.

(Whoo, self-promotion ahead, skip two lines down if you feel offended ) Check out : http://chinstrap.alternating.net/ its only i686 binaries, so you might not feel its enough, but its avaiable and working :) //Spider -- begin .signature This is a .signature virus!
