Hi, I had to change CHOST also and I can only speak of my experience -- which may be based on the wrong way to do such things, but... I did: Change CHOST Update profile (unfortunately to the wrong one, but that's my fault) source /etc/profile emerge gcc (since I had to upgrade to gcc-4.1.1 gcc-config emerge -e system emerge -e world last step was interrupted several times either do to compiling failures or to package, whch wants other previous installed packages to be recompiled with other USE-flags. The overall result is a running system with some packages either installed not with all features compiled due to other packages missing due to compile failures or missing completly. This may or may be not based on the wrong profile I choose initially. I will chnage to the correct profile and recompile all affected package and will see, how far I can get then. The described procedure takes me four days with interuptions. The computer was not switched off and did its compiling task as often as possible (day and night when not stopped by an compile failure or other incidents described above. I am running an AMD 64 X2 3800+, "make -j 3" and 1GB of RAM.
