What's strange is that the emerge --info Felix linked to does not have ccache in Features. But it is timestamped earlier than the other logs... Is ccache installed? (emerge --search ccache) if yes unmerge it (emerge --unmerge ccache). And you may want to use gcc-config to reset the links to gcc. W -- Willie W.
