On my Duron 800 I use "CFLAGS="-mcpu=i586 -O3 -pipe" '.

Coincidentally I have the exact same error on my other Gentoo [web]server (an 
old AMD k6 cpu) as I try to upgrade mod_php.  I noticed that gcc was upgraded 
during the same 'emerge world' so I re-emerged gcc for a laff but im getting 
the same problems.  I have also tried changing the $CC and $CPP variables as 
suggested on some ML posts I found on google.

James: take a look at 
$PORTAGETMP/modutils-2.4.25/work/modutils-2.4.25/config.log - this may well 
give you a little more info.  Ill post an extract from mine below.
