I am installing Gentoo 1.4 rc3 for an old machine, Pentium MMX. Compiling on a
dual Celeron machine.
Now, it seems I can´t set the host flag, after starting bootstrap, it reinstalls
Portage and overwrites /etc/make.conf. So it starts compiling with
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" instead of CHOST="i586-pc-linux-gnu".

I also want to set CFLAGS="-march=pentium-mmx -O3 -pipe"

Is this a bug? Or will the produced code run on i586?
I´ve tried to change it again right after emerging Portage, but I see when it is
configuring packages it still uses the default value. 

Or do I have to get a stage2 tarball?

Seems to me that this is just the overwriting make.conf bug that has been discussed so many times and recently been addressed. Your flags are honored just they get overwritten and replaced later, but if you cntrl-c during bootstrap they will need re-configured...this has been addressed and will be fixed in later versions of portage.
