The only flag you should not change after a stage 3 install is CHOST. If
you downloaded the right stage3 tarball there is no reason to do so
unless you are cross-compiling. Note that stage1 is still available, but
no longer supported by the handbook, as there is allmost no reason, even
for an experienced gentoo-er not to use stage3.
