7 I think that a lot of people use stage 1 because they're under the impression
8 that they have to in order to change their CHOST on default-linux from
9 i386-pc-linux-gnu to i686-pc-linux-gnu. And unless something has changed
10 recently, to get an NPTL glibc they _do_ have to make that change [1]. If it's
11 made clear that there is absolutely no difference in the end btwn stage3 +
12 emerge -e world and stage1, maybe people would be less enthusiastic about using it.
