Where do I download prebuilt gentoo stage 3 tarballs for various architectures? Last time I asked solar, _he_ didn't know. I believe he just started from the x86 one and cross compiled a new one under that when he needed something for a target.

To be specific, just about anything that uses gettext also has a ./configure stage that detects its absence if it isn't installed. The same goes for libtool.
