Nope, they both compile just fine. Of those, only sandbox is causing me 
grief.

Actually, only sandbox and module-init-tools are failing.

I can't see why selecting a 32-bit compiler should make portage work again. 
Surely I need a 64-bit compiler for almost the whole system? I haven't 
changed any multilib flags, so I should still have both, no?

For the moment I'm continuing with emerge -e world, just skipping the few 
packages that fail (just the two of them so far) - they still exist, after 
all, in their earlier state.
