If your CPU is as you say it _should_ work

So long as there is no space between the option and it's value ie:

-fomit-frame-pointer

..is valid

-f omit-frame-pointer

... will cause problems.

As a general hint I would suggest gentoo newbies start from the stage 3 
tar-ball or at least the stage 2 tar ball.  Stage 1 build are great, but 
  if you've never compiled GCC before you could defeat the whole purpose 
of the excercise.  A properly optimised stage1 build will result in the 
fastest linux build you can get (much faster than straight, generic, 
binary distros), but if you don't understand the optomisations you could 
produce a version of GCC which will fail when building other programs 
down the line.

Consider yourself duly warned.
