Well, the only way ~x86 could have been added to make.conf was if it
was edited directly.  Running with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS in the environment
would not have changed it.

Having --info report both x86 and ~x86 is normal...it means both
stable and testing packages are allowed.

Well, it isn't terribly difficult to switch back to stable.  Just
remove the ~x86 keyword from make.conf and "emerge -DNuv world".  The
worst case is when you have some testing package merged for which
there is no stable version, in which case you either have to unmerge
the package or add the appropriate entry to
/etc/portage/package.keywords.

And of course, don't forget etc-update afterwards.  Anyway, on the to
the problem at hand:

Hmm, I would have expected something more recent for ~x86.  What does
"emerge -vp sys-apps/baselayout" report?

Ok, run "gcc-config -l".  You should see an entry for
i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.4.  If so, run "gcc-config
i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.4"  Then try the revdep-rebuld again.

Everything else looks sane.
