According to http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/change-chost.xml after a
couple of changes to /etc/make.conf, i.e.

  from:
       USE="x86 ..."
       CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
       CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe"

  to:
      USE="amd64 ..."
      CHOST="amd64-pc-linux-gnu"
      CFLAGS="-O2 -march=x86-64 -pipe"

The next step is:

    emerge -av1 binutils gcc glibc

The emerge of binutils works fine.  However the emerge of gcc fails
with:

  In file included from .../gcc/unwind-dw2.c:257:
  gcc/config/i386/linux-unwind.h: In function
     'x86_64_fallback_frame_state':
  gcc/config/i386/linux-unwind.h:63:
    error: 'struct sigcontext' has no member named 'rsp'

A quick search of BGO didn't show anything relevant.

Any suggestions???

Thanks.

boot from cd
mkfs.reiserfs
start stage3 installation.

It is the only safe way. It is faster and much less problematic.

This is true and is the recommended way; what Albert posted is almost effectively a full reinstall.

I would advocate — and have used — the start-from-scratch process. Unpredictable result from anything else, and such ... (For some reason it's difficult to go from 486 to 686, although by following the posted guidelines at gentoo.org I have never had such trouble...)--
