I used this:
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i586 -pipe"

Because when I untarred the i586 file it was
what was written by default into the make.conf file by:
 stage3-i586-2006.0.tar.bz2 

When booting I gave these options
gentoo-nofb  acpi=no nosmp

I did use the latest portage I could find:
portage-latest.tar.bz2         

The K6 is now compiling a hardened kernel.

Thanks to all, as it was a lot of little things that helped!
