This does not solve the following problem: 1. user upgrades to gcc-3.4.x 2. gcc-config to 3.4.x 3. emerge -P gcc Because libstdc++ has a different name (.6) in 3.4.x than the .5 in 3.3.X all the packages linked against the old one are borked and this includes python meaning that emerge does not work until you for example make a symlink from the .6 to .5. I recently run into this when reinstalling my desktop after a broken hard drive.
