Hi,

 I had to change CHOST also and I can only speak of my experience --
 which may be based on the wrong way to do such things, but...

 I did:

 
 Change CHOST
 Update profile (unfortunately to the wrong one, but that's my fault)
 source /etc/profile
 emerge gcc (since I had to upgrade to gcc-4.1.1
 gcc-config
 emerge -e system
 emerge -e world

 last step was interrupted several times either do to compiling
 failures or to package, whch wants other previous installed packages
 to be recompiled with other USE-flags.

 The overall result is a running system with some packages either
 installed not with all features compiled due to other packages
 missing due to compile failures or missing completly.

 This may or may be not based on the wrong profile I choose initially.
 I will chnage to the correct profile and recompile all affected
 package and will see, how far I can get then.

 The described procedure takes me four days with interuptions. The
 computer was not switched off and did its compiling task as often as
 possible (day and night when not stopped by an compile failure or
 other incidents described above. I am running an AMD 64 X2 3800+,
 "make -j 3" and 1GB of RAM. 

 Keep hacking,
 mcc
