Just not to be misunderstood, I'm not blaming anyone. In fact, I greatly am
respectful of Jorge's effort.

It *was* somewhat inconvenient to spend hours to upgrade
stage3-amd64-hardened to gcc-4.5.3, but I have learned my lesson, and now
maintain my own "stage3.1" tarballs.

I'm just thinking about people new to Gentoo who are looking for the above
stage3.

Anyways, thanks for the explanation, Jorge! Much appreciated :-)

Rgds,
