7 The stage3 tarball is what you get if you build everything using the
8 default options.
9
10 If you change the options, then an emerge -e @world will rebuild
11 everything using your new options. That is equivalent to what you get
12 from a stage1 install. The main difference is that you aren't messing
13 around with chroots for days because you don't have a functional
14 system while everything builds the first time.
15
16 Ie, stage1->stage3 gets you the same thing as stage3->stage3.
17
18 And really unless you REALLY care about your CFLAGS you get 99% of the
19 benefit just sticking with the original stage3 and just rebuilding
20 anything you change USE flags for. Over time it will all get rebuilt
21 anyway using your preferences.
