If you look at the configure script you will see that it's is testing if you
are on a sparc64. The test shows you aren't which appears to be unrelated to
your problem. Line 153 which appears to be failing is this:
echo "ARCH=${TARGET_ARCH/i?86/i386}" >> make_include
which is supposed to substitute i686 with i386 in your case and store it in
make_include as "ARCH=i386". I have no clue why that would fail. The only
thing that I can think of is to remerge your shell (probably
app-shells/bash). If noone else has a clue and that doesn't help I guess your
best option is to file a bug with the info you've posted now...
