Apparently this is caused by me switching my CHOST. I'll work around it I guess.
I am having this same problem. egenix-mx-base won't emerge because it can't run/locate i386-pc-linux-gnu-gcc. Where is this i386 guff coming from? After doing a bit of googling I found a lot of people passing this off as "because you changed your CHOST". Well I haven't changed my CHOST and this is the second ebuild in "stable" that's failed with this same message. My CHOST is and always has been set to i686-pc-linux-gnu. I have upgraded my gcc from 3.4.4 to 3.4.5. Afterwards I ran gcc-config to select the new gcc, and re-emerged libtool, as recommended at the Gentoo Linux GCC Upgrade Guide. That's the only change I've made to my build environment since installing from a fresh 2006.0 minimal install CD four days ago.
