I would try
CHOST="i586-pc-linux-gnu"
And have "-march=i586" in your CFLAGS.
And have "-sse -3dnow" in your USE= flags.
I dont have a cyrix but I had to set CHOST like that to get my k6 to work. |

Sounds to me like a problem with memory-timings...
Try to slow down them a bit, i don't know what kind of MoBo/Chipset you are using but it's possibly a memory-problem...

a memory problem? hmm...
there's nothing in bios that i can change regarding memory speed or anything. to be honest, i'm not sure what the chipset or the mobo is. i just kinda scrapped this thing. it worked, but it had windows on it. and windows didn't run too well. i tried slackware, which ran just fine. but i'd prefer to have gentoo on there, because i know it better. i hope it's not like gentoo just isn't compatible with the cyrix. that would suck. it seems like it does something different everytime i change the cflags to something. like, if i do i386, it'll crash, then go back to the prompt. just about anything else will make it lock up when it crashes. but it only happens when it compiles. i dread running the bootstrap script on that at 150 mhz. woah. if it works, it'd take weeks. |

| Sounds like something is flaky. Try running memtest86. |
