Further examination of what's in Stage 3
+ review of my detailed notes from installation last year suggest
that the correct attempt wb to unpack the tarball somewhere temporary,
then copy  /bin /lib /sbin /usr /var  into the existing set-up;
also to unpack the latest Portage snapshot into  /usr/portage ;
after that, copy carefully selected parts of  /etc .
After all, I do have a working kernel + system configuration,
which is partly what needs to be created during a basic install.

Of course, if there's a simpler method anyone can suggest, I wb thankful.
Can anyone explain why it's choking on the ELF header ?
