Set PYTHON_TARGETS=pytthon3_6. This will ensure portage and its
dependencies are built for python3.6.

You can then set python3.6 as the default interpreter globally by
putting it first in /etc/python-exec/python-exec.conf. There's a
comment with instructions at the top of that file.

If you only want emerge to use python3.6, put it in
/etc/python-exec/emerge.conf instead.
