Sorry for the dumb question.
uname -a, gives the following
Linux fluffy 2.6.7-gentoo-r14 #1 SMP Wed Aug 18 09:57:23 UTC 2004
x86_64 AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 250 AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
Does this mean my arch is x86 or amd?
Check man uname, specially -i, -m, -o, -p flags (-a does it too).
IMO it's AMD-64-bits, still no experience with such arch.
For those who have managed to get this far without collapsing in fits
of hysterics a bit of history,
* Someone installed gentoo about a year ago for me.
* Last week I wanted to add some apps and as I was finding probs
decided to do an upadate.
* I think I did emerge sync first.
* then tried emerge -uDpv world
* somewhere I had a problem that make.profile was not linked
* I did a symbolic link to the amd64 2005.1 dir
* then had various problems, such as
!!! ERROR: sys-devel/gcc-3.4.4-r1 failed,
when doing emerge -uv system
I have now link make.profile to
/usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.1
Was this right?
I then did emerge --sync and etc-update on 61 config files.
Now getting the error below on emerge -upv system.
Am I barking up the right tadpole?

Thanks. Unless anyone else has any suggestions I will try it.
Can anyone else confirm this is the way to go before I try?
It depends how patient you are. The suggested fix will bring your
machine up to an as new condition. On the other hand, it might
unnecessarily rebuilt packages that may not be broken or need
updating (yet) and will take years to complete (well, it depends on
how fast your machine is :-) That said I would think that after a
whole year there wouldn't be much left in portage, which has not a
new ebuild?
As an alternative, if your machine is not totally hosed you could
start from the bottom up rebuilding the core packages and after a
fresh --sync, update the whole world. Try re-emerging the gentoo
toolkit: gcc-config glibc binutils libstdc++. Run # etc-update and
# env-update source /etc/profile as required and rebuild
portage; do another --sync; and then emerge -upDv world to see what
comes up in need for an update.
However, if basic compilers, etc. are broken you will not be able to
re-emerge the toolkit and the solution suggested by Dave remains the
best option.
