Hmm, well I can't tell you what to predict in regards to the list of flags 
that you generated.  The list is all over the place in regards to media and 
web flags, yet the -kde and -gnome will hogtie most of the resulting 
packages.

Use emerge --pretend to see what kind of results you'll actually get.

In /etc/make.conf you define your CFLAGS to match your cpu.  In your case 
(which is just like mine) the following should suffice:

CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium3 -pipe -mcpu=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

You might want to add the USE options for the supported mmx, mtrr, etc.  but I 
honestly can't tell you what effects they actually have on the builds.
