If this really is an i586 compatible chip, then your `uname -m' shouldn't be returning "i686" as the `emerge --info' suggests it does. You should be using a generic x86 CD and stage3 tarball instead of the i686 ones.
I thought this might be the case. However, my CFLAGS and CHOST are not i686.... Can I solve this by rebuilding the toolchain (emerge -e system) followed by rebuilding the rest (emerge -e world), using the changing CHOST guide or do I really need a complete reinstall?

Changing a few variables around doesn't magically make previously compiled code refrain from issuing incompatible instructions. > Can I solve this by rebuilding the toolchain (emerge -e system) followed by > rebuilding the rest (emerge -e world), using the changing CHOST guide or do I > really need a complete reinstall? You hadn't come that far to begin with, apparently, so starting over is the best way to go. Do mind that re-emerging the toolchain would probably cause the same kinds of issues you're seeing now.
Sorry to be a nuisance, but could you explain a little more please? Surely rebuilding the toolchain with correct parameters, followed by a complete rebuild would effectively do the same as a fresh install? If you don't mind, could you explain the differences?
No, sorry. This is a bug tracker and not a support forum. And the changes you want to make will probably not work. Unpacking a proper stage3 would be best. If you really must go that experimental route, then try it on forums.gentoo.org.
