What change did you have to make to CHOST? 386 to 686? or something more
complicated?

For me, the problem was that I had to change CHOST...then I'll re-install
from scratch.
But I don't say Gentoo is bad, I say, I am bad at Gentoo !

Most of my problems came in the stage of the revdep-rebuild things
simply wouldn't build. I finally solved it by un-installing as many of
the offending packages as I could, multiple emerge --sync and about 10
attempts at revdep-rebuild
NOT a process I wanna go through again -- believe me!!! -- sadly -- I
don't have a choice -- ive already got one machine that wont upgrade
until I do it - -im just delaying as long as possible
