Compilation did go further now, but some other problems arise. Herewith
my findings :

* one of the (long list of) dependancies is db.3.2.9.ebuild.
  An error occurs in not finding c++. (no idea why or how to check this).

  <snip>
  checking for c++... no
  checking for g++... no
  checking for gcc... gcc
  checking whether the C++ compiler (gcc -mcpu=i686 -march=i686
    -O3 -pipe) works... no
  configure: error: installation or configuration problem:
    C++ compiler cannot create executables
  </snip>

* As I use the default USE flags, containing X, the rebuild of glibc
  wants to compile Xfree and several other packages first. Removing X
  from USE, removed most of the dependancies (whereunder db.3.2.9).
  Compilation of the bootstrap finished now.

Just my ?0,02
