do you have glibc installed properly ?
(In reply to comment #1) > do you have glibc installed properly ? > emerge first builds gcc and then glibc. So at this moment only glibc-2.4-r3 (compiled with gcc 3.4.6 ) exists on my system. The problem may result from the multilib use flag, as the configure fails for the 32 bit parts.
right, make sure doing something simple like this works: echo 'int main(){}' > test.c gcc -m32 test.c file a.out a.out: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, not stripped

i dont know the proper method then for upgrading from a non-multilib system to a multilib system
There is none (supported), simple as that. You will have to stick with the no-multilib. You can try to copy over binpkgs of the toolchain packages from a multilib box to yours, but you're on your own there.
