When doing a 'emerge system' on a fresh gentoo 1.2 stage1 install i recieved an 
error saying that the dirrectory blah/grub/i386-pc could not be found and this 
caused the emerge to halt.  The actualy dirrector that was there was i386-
crusoe in correct relation to my make.conf declaration of CHOST="i686-crusoe-
linux-pc".  So i believe that the GRUB ebuild is not correctly reading the 
CHOST.  Or i was not susposed to change the value of CHOST in said way.

Many things will not support your CHOST setting, although most will build
fine.  Grub is the exception that will fail to build.  Rather use
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" if not too much trouble ?
