It is not stricly required because packages compiled with different CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS are interoperable. Note that the 2005.1 handbook mentions only the stage3 and not stage1 or stage2. Installation from the lower stages is more error prone and best avoided. Zac -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
