According to INSTALL file, openssl provides "386" configure option to generate 386 compatible code (otherwise 486+ code is generated which will cause SIGILL on 80386 CPU).
Code:
386             Use the 80386 instruction set only (the default x86 code is
                more efficient, but requires at least a 486). Note: Use
                compiler flags for any other CPU specific configuration,
                e.g. "-m32" to build x86 code on an x64 system.


I think so it would be great to be able to enable this option either manually by USE flag or have it automatically enabled by portage for example based on -march value in CFLAGS, but till now I have not found appropriate USE flag or other way how to enable this (is there any?).

Moved from Portage & Programming to Unsupported Software.

i386 as a CHOST is no longer supported. glibc >=2.3 will not build with a i386 CHOST, so you have bigger problems than just this.
If you want something for an embedded system, look at dropbear.
