The trouble with Gentoo is that it has been so stable for me I forget what
to do - this is my third build from scratch in 6 years and it looks like I
have started from the wrong stage3 - I chose the i686 one (which I assume
is 32 bit) and I can't now compile gmp. Looks like I'll have to blow away
the whole chroot environment and start again as I started with a linux32
chroot - at least I have a world file I can start from now :-)

I guess I should be using an amd64 stage 3 file? - I'll put that into a
new chroot and start again - should be ready by morning!!

Cheers
