I have already initiated the build again after I modified the USE flags to
the defaults that came with the installation cd. Here's the dfaults:
==================================================================
# These settings were set by the catalyst build script that automatically
# built this stage.
# Please consult /etc/make.conf.example for a more detailed example.
CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="-O2 -pipe"
# WARNING: Changing your CHOST is not something that should be done lightly.
# Please consult http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/change-chost.xml before
changing.
CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
# These are the USE flags that were used in addition to what is provided by
the
# profile used for building.
USE="mmx sse sse2"
=================================================================

I am still waiting to see the results. When the error occured I was using
the following make.conf:

======================================================
CFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"

MAKEOPT="-j2"
FEATURES="ccache"

USE="X aac aiglx alsa aoss asf bzip2 cairo dbus dvd emerald fam firefox gif
     glitz gnome gstreamer gtk hal java jpeg mad mp3 mp4 new-login nptl
     nptlonly nsplugin opengl pdf png samba spell sqlite svg symlink threads
     tiff truetype unicode x264 xcomposite xinerama xml xorg xscreensaver xv
     xvid -arts -eds -esd -fortran -ipv6 -kde -qt3 -qt4"

VIDEO_CARDS="NVIDIA"
===================================================

I should have kept a back up of the build.log but if anyone needs it, I can
do emerge again, and send you the file, as I have this strong feeling that
the build I am doing now will fail as well.
Thank you all.
