8 Take note - it's a x86_64 host environment.

21 This suggests that you unpacked an 32-bit stage tarball. If that is
22 indeed the case, you should execute the chroot in a different fashion:-
23
24 # linux32 chroot /mnt/gentoo/bin/bash
25
26 Alternatively, use an amd64 stage tarball. As a side note, you do not
27 need to set CHOST at all in make.conf.
