During installation of rc3 whenever I am giving the "mount -t /proc /mnt/gentoo/proc" - the command is not being accepted.

Instead I had to give "mount -o build /proc /mnt/gentoo/proc"

Please help

There is a typo in the install docs. If using the -t flag, the syntax should be
Code:
mount -t proc /proc /mnt/gentoo/proc

Although, it used to be
Code:
mount -o bind /proc /mnt/gentoo/proc

Which has always worked for me, and I'm not sure why they changed it.

What happens if you don't properly mount /proc and continue the install... will it fail later?

Why not
Code:
#mount --bind /proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
?

Code:
# mount --bind

and
Code:
# mount -o bind

do exactly the same thing.
