You were right, now I have compiled the kernel with

Athlon64 processors can execute 32 bits instructions. But you can't
use 32 bits executables with 64 bits libraries (or contrary), and this
will append while recompiling your system (when a library used by
emerge or gcc will be recompiled), so it should fail at any time. I
think it can be done,
