Besides the information Trevor has asked, in his reply, I'd like to
bring up the point that Yocto Project is not /tested/ in Gentoo.

This does not mean it won't work. I use Yocto Project in Debian Sid
(which is also not supported) and it works fine (most of time).

Back to Gentoo; it seems there is a doc[1] where people document some
pitfalls they overcome when using Gentoo as a host. It may be worth a
look and check if all is covered.

1. http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Yocto

Another alternative is to try to use the BuildTools SDK[2] which is
offered as a workaround for non-supported host systems.

I hope it helps,
