And I quote (/etc/make.conf included with all stage1 tarballs): # Host Setting # ============ # # If you are using a Pentium Pro or greater processor, leave this line as-is; # otherwise, change to i586, i486 or i386 as appropriate. All modern systems # (even Athlons) should use "i686-pc-linux-gnu". All K6's are i586. # CHOST="i486-pc-linux-gnu" End Quote. Well, it seems to me that, from the second half of the comment, using a P4 I ought to use a CHOST line of "i686-pc-linux-gnu", but the first half of the comment appears to indicate that I should leave the line alone. Seems to me there's a very easy fix. Either change it to say: "If you are using a Pentium Pro or greater processor, change this line to "i686-pc-linux-gnu"" etc, etc. However, that way seems silly since most new systems will use i686. The more sensible way in my opinion would probably be to simply change the CHOST variable to: CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" Well, either way is good, so long as the comment isnt conflicting with itself :) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Untar a stage1 tarball 2. View /etc/make.conf included in the tarball 3.
For next portage releases: # Host Setting # ============ # # Change this line to i586, i486 or i386 as appropriate. All modern systems # (even Athlons) should use "i686-pc-linux-gnu". All K6's are i586. #
Ok... That was slightly off... Not sure why it didn't update the copy buffer: # Host Setting # ============ # # Change this line as appropriate (i686, i586, i486 or i386). # All modern systems (even Athlons) should use "i686-pc-linux-gnu". # All K6's are i586.

Added to CVS.
Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux". I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers, this is the only reasonable way to do this.
