I'm running both a Gnome and an Xfce4 system on this box, both having
~amd64 in keywords, keeping them up to date every day or two. Yesterday
I found that any attempt to update the system failed with an error like
this one, taken from emerging modutils this morning:

 * Building modutils...

/usr/share/gnuconfig/config.guess

This is the relevant section of config.log:

How can I get out of this trap? Should I boot from the installation
disk, chroot and remerge gcc? I'll try that when I can but that won't be
just yet.
