Don't worry about any of that. If your host arch is x86 and you are
building for another x86 then it's really easy..


Just get the i386 uclibc stage. edit make.conf and set it to i586. 
run bootstrap.sh 

then enable FEATURES='buildpkg' in make.conf and just build naively
any/everything you want/need. No need to trouble yourself with cross
compilers. It will just cause you unnecessary headaches.
