I'll try it.  The only other thing I know to do is try with a different 
stage 1 tarball.  I used the stage1-pentium4-pie-ssp-2004.0.tar.bz2
in this case.  Not sure if that might be the source of my problems.  
Should I maybe use an x86 stage 1 tarball?

I'll try them too.

But, emerging findutils is apparently a part of emerging system...  See 
my original PS.  It's the first one on the list of remaining 
dependencies.

Thanks again for your reply, Terry.
