If my process wasn't clear from my last email: it looks like, following that document, you have to do the whole thing with changed CHOST, *before* making any changes to CFLAGS. It appears like only after you've `emerge -e world` with the new CHOST can you change CFLAGS. > I guess that once I've "prepared" such an i586 stage3 manually, I can > regularely let catalyst handle updating it, just as it does fine with > the original i486 and i686 stage3's. I haven't used catalyst at all. You make it sound interesting & useful. Stroller.
