I suspect you want to move to ~amd64 and practice writing portage
overlays. Expect an occasional uh-oh-its-broken, and take precautions,
such as turning on portage logging and automatic binary
packaging. I've also been saved by having an 'emergency compiler' in
/usr/local. (I haven't gotten around to building an 'emergency
binutils'.)
Myself, I basically run ~amd64 but with the amd64 glibc, because I got
tired of glibc versions going up and down, during a period in which
that was happening a lot. This way I have a nice glibc that I rarely
have to recompile.
