That was it.

$ gcc-config -l
 [1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.2.2 *

 [2] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.2 *

$ qfile i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.2.2
cross-i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc (/etc/env.d/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.2.2)

I did have the cross-compiler stuff installed when I was experimenting with 
distcc, but I removed it long ago. Looks like something hung on.

A simple emerge -C cross-i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc corrected the problem, as 
now:

$ gcc-config -l
 [1] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.2 *

...and emerge -q1 sandbox runs to completion. I still don't know though why 
only sandbox was affected - 21 other packages were merged ok.

Certainly did - thanks. Now to figure out how to resume the emerge -e world 
from where it stopped :-)

Thanks also to the others who offered help.
