error reproduced: this happens to me during emerge -u portage. and i have heard it happens with bootstrap.sh as well.
CFLAGS="-O3 -mcpu=i686 -funroll-loops -pipe" CHOST="i486-pc-linux-gnu" Looks like you had a bad CHOST, causing gcc to bail - make sure that your CHOST matches your machine (which in this case looks like an i686). Trying to do optimizations for a i686 using a i486 CHOST ... yeah, that would do it.
I had these prob with ncurses and gettext on Athlon xp when doing bootstrap. After some search, I emerge GCC with -O options (no deps) and after all works. But when I made stage2 to stage3 I had probs with baselayout. I just do `emerge glibc` to resolve the problem. I hope it can help you, and excuse me for my bad english. Good luck
