Problems with the 1.X->1.4 update

	Hi all,

  I've been having some serious problems in step3 of the 1.X->1.4 update 
process. The two earlier stages completed without any errors, but in stage3 
the ebuild of sys-libs/db-3.2.9-r1 fails.
  The error message I get is: 
checking for integral type equal to pointer size... configure: error: can not 
run test program while cross compiling
  This seems especially weird since earlier the same ebuild verified that gcc 
is not a cross-compiler.

  My build settings are:
CHOST="i586-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=pentium -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
  And my USE settings:
USE="-3dnow -avi -cups -gnome -mmx -mpeg -quicktime doc mozilla tetex tiff 
imap mule plotutils"
