But there is a guide to help you: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/change-chost.xml > Would this destroy my system? It should be possible to do safely, but I would make a backup just in case, and since you are about to emerge -e world anyway, make sure you have some "down time" available. > Is there any benefit at all to using an i686 CHOST as opposed to i386? Yes. For one thing it allows you to use nptl which is more efficient for threading than pthreads. In fact, glibc-2.5 is nptl _only_, so upgrading to glibc-2.5 will require CHOST to be i486 or better. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
