I don't know why it's written in such an opaque manner (a simple

Is SSE2 required for building/ running NodeJS on x86 machines?
But how can my CPU be mistaken for a 32-bit machine?

It's not your CPU type but the type of CPU you are building for. The key
information from emerge --info is
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
when it should be
CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
!!! wow. I'm dumbfounded.
This is one of the machines I've been trying to get updated for awhile.
It seemed this time that I'd found the proper incantation, because it
got farther than before. But I discover now that I have NO saved
emerge output from a system*.out or world*.out file that has "Emerging"
lines in it (portage is very frugal with its unequivocal progress
markers). Perhaps I have indeed used the wrong stage 3.
Thank you for the tip.
