Where do I download prebuilt gentoo stage 3 tarballs for various
architectures?
Last time I asked solar, _he_ didn't know. I believe he just started from the
x86 one and cross compiled a new one under that when he needed something for
a target. (Apparently, most embedded targets don't have a CD-ROM drive.)

To be specific, just about anything that uses gettext also has a ./configure
stage that detects its absence if it isn't installed. The same goes for
libtool.
