I don't pretend to know what I'm talking about here; so I'll try and give as much information as possible. Please inform if there's anything else I need to post. -m32 is to compile in 32-bit, I think, which is why I set the summary as such. Which makes me assume this fails due to: # CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION is not set Steps to duplicate: [ebuild R ] sys-devel/gcc-4.1.2 USE="(-altivec) -bootstrap -build -d -doc -fortran -gcj -gtk (-hardened) (-ip28) (-ip32r10k) -mudflap (-multilib) -multislot (-n32) (-n64) -nls -nocxx -objc -objc++ -objc-gc -test -vanilla" ..wait a while.. checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc... /var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/gcc-4.1.2/work/build/./gcc/xgcc -B/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/gcc-4.1.2/work/build/./gcc/ -B/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ -B/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/lib/ -isystem /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/include -isystem /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/sys-include -m32 checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.
