glibc error installing from stage 1

I'm getting the following error:
make[2]: *** [/home/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.1-r4/work/glibc-2.3.1/buildhere/sunrpc/xbootparam_prot.stmp] Illegal instruction
...

!!! ERROR: sys_libs/glibc-2.3.1-r4 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 222, Exitcode 2
!!! (no error message)

The offending file (xbootparam_prot.stmp) doesn't exist in the above directory.
I've tried `emerge sync' without success

This is a 500MHz K6-2 system in getting past this error.

Thanks for any help.
Mike

In your /etc/make.conf , make sure you change CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" to CHOST="i586-pc-linux-gnu" in addition to setting your CFLAGS correctly.

Hello,

I shed some light on the confusing i586 and i686 naming use. i686-compatible cpu's are those which have a full pentiumpro compatible instruction set. Although K6's can be seen as i686, they miss some cpu-registers by which they don't qualify as a full i686 and won't run code compiled with i686-pc-linux-gnu. You should use i586-pc-linux-gnu options or the k6 specific compiler settings
