UPDATE: I downloaded a different stage3 tarball and I think I see progress. It has a couple errors that I had to fix, had to run gcc-config for one, but it looks like glibc is running longer than before. It seems to be compiling now. So, it seems that other tarball has some issues and needs a hammer. Now to figure out if I want to try and use the binary from this new tarball on the current install OR just install Gentoo again from scratch. Dale :-) :-)
