To be honest I don't really care enough to even look at the wiki. It does look like there are no 2007.0 stages with an i386 CHOST (probably because so few people actually want to install Gentoo on an real 386). So either you'd have to use stage 1 from 2007.0 (not supported) or stage3-x86 from 2006.1 (still supported). But the default-linux/x86/no-nptl profile is still stable and glibc-2.5 is unmasked on it so the point still stands until that profile becomes deprecated (and I doubt that will happen anytime soon). -- Bo Andresen
