UPDATE:  I downloaded a different stage3 tarball and I think I see
progress.  It has a couple errors that I had to fix, had to run
gcc-config for one, but it looks like glibc is running longer than
before.  It seems to be compiling now.  So, it seems that other tarball
has some issues and needs a hammer. 

Now to figure out if I want to try and use the binary from this new
tarball on the current install OR just install Gentoo again from scratch.
