Hi - I'm installing Gentoo on a Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.70GHz stepping 02. Can anyone advise me as to the correct CHOST setting. I'm a bit confused

Pentium II and newer processors (and other i686-compatibles) simply use "i686-pc-linux-gnu". Why this is, I don't know exactly; it deals with the processor's architecture and how it compiles code.

Also, set your CFLAGS to "-O2 -march=pentium4 -mfpmath=sse,387 -pipe - fomit-frame-pointer" for a good mix of speed and stability.
