Looks easy right? So, what tool chain on this 32 bit machine are you going to use to build the 64 bit binaries you actually want to output? You know you are going to do heaps of setup actions, build a new tool chain then essentially do emerge -e world. Much easier to just copy stuff off a 64-bit stage3 then do emerge -e world. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
