It's appended to the tail end of the tbz2, in xpak format (see `man 5 xpak`). > I see one instance of CHOST in the 'Packages' index on the BINHOST. Is > that the variable emerge is comparing against?

The CHOST for individual packages is only shown in cases when it differs from the CHOST in the header of the Packages file. > Manually modifying a/m CHOST to 'ppc' didn't stop emerge from > successfully merging a package on an amd64 target (I've removed > /usr/portage/packages from target before emerging). The CHOST from your local configuration (typically from make.conf or inherited from your profile) is compared to the CHOST of the binary package. You can also use ACCEPT_CHOSTS if you want to accept more than one CHOST (see `man 5 make.conf`). - -- Thanks, Zac -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAknsPqIACgkQ/ejvha5XGaNnEgCfVB8ricVhKBQY/S2g1aYLvpkT L2wAn3CtsAnFwJ0h/mArfdDJk4hMvNBD =AH2B -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
