Thanks.
Seems like I missed a major design concept of catalyst. Might I have 
skipped the documentation that specifies this concept? I've read the 
manpage, as-well-as 
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_build_a_LiveCD_with_Catalyst_for_newbies, 
the FAQ and the examples. But I couldn't really infer this from any of 
those.

More so, In the catalyst FAQ 
(http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/releng/catalyst/faq.xml), I read:

when catalyst builds a stage1, the stage1 itself does not inherit any 
binaries or libraries from the seed that is used.

Is that FAQ obsolete? the "seed" is the original stage3, right? Looks 
like my stage1 (and the livecd stage too) did in-fact inherit binaries 
from the seed.
