If you have the time before the transition, you could set CFLAGS to |
| 11 |
something really generic, like -mcpu=i586 and emerge -e system, as well |
| 12 |
as recompiling the kernel. Then move the disks over. That way, you'll |

know that your toolchain and portage will work, which is all you need to |
| 14 |
get everything else going. |
