I would be glad to email you the binary from mine if it would help.  
Here is some info:

CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe"
CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
sys-devel/gcc:       4.4.4-r2

Since it is set to native, I have a AMD X4 955 Deneb 3.2GHz CPU.  If you 
think it will work, let me know and I'll send you my copy.  I promise 
not to spit on it first too.  lol

Let me know if you need more info.
