Bill,
   I got bit by the sandbox/gcc problem yesterday. In my case, on a
machine with a KDE profile && after reviewing Gentoo bug reports, I
did the following:

eselect profile set 1
cd /lib
ln -s ../lib32/ld-linux.so.2 .
emerge sandbox
emerge --sync
emerge glibc
emerge @preserved-rebuild
eselect profile set 4
emerge -e -j9 @system

and an hour later I was back to functional without those messages
about not being able to build C programs, etc.

I don't suggest ANY of that is understood by the likes of me but it
did seem to solve the problem which was (apparently) wrapped around
some sort of missing link which allows 64-bit machines to run 32-bit
programs. (Or that's about all I could get out of what I read....)

Hope this helps, and hoping someone more knowledgable than I chimes in
with what I should have/could have done to do this more easily.

Cheers,
Mark
