gcc borked for gnome install

[Vermis]

Hey, I'm having problems trying install gnome in 32 bit mode (but I have an AMD 64).
I get the dreaded mismatched gcc libfile error

gcc-config error: Could not run/locate "i386-pc-linux-gnu-g++"
make: *** [libapm.la] Error 1

!!! ERROR: sys-apps/apmd-3.2.1_p4 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 50, Exitcode 2
!!! emake failed
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.


I've been getting help from my friend, who's exausted almost everything he knows
and he's been digging through the forums as well.

so first we tried
fix_libtool_files.sh 3.3.5 --oldarch i386-pc-linux-gnu
no fixes appeared. so we ended up doing a symlink in this dir where gcc-config
-B said the binaries were kept

/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/3.3.6
ln -s i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++ i386-pc-linux-gnu
this finally uncovered the actual problem, with the following error

i386-pc-linux-gnu-g++: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.5-20050130/../../../crti.o: No such file or directory
i386-pc-linux-gnu-g++: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.5-20050130/crtbeginS.o: No such file or directory
i386-pc-linux-gnu-g++: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.5-20050130/crtendS.o: No such file or directory
i386-pc-linux-gnu-g++: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.5-20050130/../../../crtn.o: No such file or directory
make: *** [libapm.la] Error 1

!!! ERROR: sys-apps/apmd-3.2.1_p4 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 50, Exitcode 2

so it's 3.3.5-20050130 right

so we did fix_libtool_files.sh 3.3.5-20050130 --oldarch i386-pc-linux-gnu

and it still came up empty.

Any advice. We've read all the FAQs and tried everything short of symlinking the
whole lot. As it wasn't adviced.
