when I do an
Code:
emerge -DuN world

I get the following out put.

This is a fresh install, and it is completely possible that I messed something up. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

Thanks in advance

"/bin/sh: i686-pc-linux-gnu-ar: command not found" indicates a problem with binutils. That symlink should be in /usr/bin and be pointing to /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ar, which in turn points to /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/binutils-bin/<binutils version>/ar

There is a bug on this. It's been around for awhile:

sys-apps/busybox-1.4.1 failed on i686

Solution there was to re-emerge binutils.
