OK, this was going to be my next attempt....
Confusing, because I have a Pentium Pro 200MHz that is
i686 (CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu")
with this info from /proc/cpuinfo:
flags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 mtrr pge mca cmov

Hmmm. Good point.
The Pentium Pro mentioned above is stopped during the upgrade of 
glibc 2.4. It told me to add "nptl nptlonly" to the USE flags.
I did and issued 'emerge --resume". Hopefully this one makes it to
glibc-2.4  and gcc-4.1 ?

So what should I set as the CHOST for an amd-K6 arch machine?
Any other K6 settings I should select during the 2006.1 minimal CD
installation?

Anything any different in the make.conf file? ( O2, pipe, etc etc?)


A deeper question is should I plan on migrating my older machines
Pentium pro and amd k6 to another linux/bsd distro or will Gentoo
maintain a solution for these older arch's? Maybee Gentoo embedded
is the way to go with older arch's?
