Because the whole point of a stage 1 is that you make it specific to
your cpu yourself (there's no athlon-xp, pentuim3, or pentium4 stage 1
tarballs either)?

There are only cpu-specific stage 2 and stage 3 tarballs, because a
stage 2 is 'semi-compiled' (thus already cpu-specific) and a stage 3 is
almost fully compiled (ditto). A stage 1 is completely uncompiled, so it
can't really be specific to a cpu, beyond a general architecture setting
(x86
as opposed to ppc, or amd64, for example).

HTH,
