[gentoo-user] difficulty installing gentoo on AMD sempron

I have installed gentoo a few times without difficulty, but always on pentium 4s. My son is installing it on an AMD sempron and we are having trouble involving i686 vs i386. In make.conf we have CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -pipe -O2" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" MAKEOPT="-j2" PORT
