After unpacking the latest stage 1 tarball for PPC, there is no (/mnt/gentoo)/etc/make.conf example file. I pulled a copy of /etc/make.conf from the livecd (latest version - 1.4 rc4 7, IIRC), and it appears to be a copy of one of the developer's make.conf files. The USE flags are "-* sdl ipv6", the mirror is statically set to <blah>.be, all comments are stripped, his / her proxy is set, and -fsigned-char is set in CFLAGS (which causes problems while building gcc, IIRC). This makes setting up a proper make.conf extremely difficult unless you know about portage. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Expected Results: A sample make.conf should be supplied as was the case with x86 stages, in the past.
This is already fixed in rc8 stages, 1.4 final stages (without the make.conf or gcc-config problem) are on the mirrors today A workaround is to emerge portage (which installs a new make.conf)
