I found this bug when trying building stage4 image for my EeePC from my AMD64 PC.
Seems like genkenrel not pass valid ARCH on make menuconfig (this bug #247246)
I reported this for a while and nobody seems to work on it. What those bug wranglers doing guys.
Although I can get fixed myself. I think this is major bugs that could by fixes soon.
BTW: I got Gnome+XFCE stage4 for my EeePC (with compiz-fusion optionally enabled).

I recently use Gentoo Catalyst to build so called
stage4 for my EeePC 901. But ... First, the stable builds have bug which really does not fixed since 2008.0 release ... I tried use
prescott cpu target (which right for Atom) but It failed to build.
So I grab some patch from Gentoo bugzilla and it works. But ... It really does have some problem because (some bad) design of Portage and also Gentoo Catalyst itself. I found that catalyst do good on cross compile and make anything consistent. But portage cannot solve circular dependencies on building stage4, and more, it does not update use flags on stage3 packages (@system) for stage4
This is another bug that I go to fix it myself by adding only --deep --newuse to the emerge command in build stage4 target script.
