I have submitted bug # 381823 to suggest a more appropriate warning from the LO ebuild. I have unmerged all the Java pkgs & removed the 'gcj' USE flag. Gcc 4.5.3-r3 now compiles much more quickly (Core 2 Duo, 2 GB memory) : (1st time) by Gcc 4.4.5 with 'gcj' it took 40 min ; (2nd time) by Gcc 4.5.3-r3 without 'gcj' it took 24 min . Doing a regular weekly system update yesterday, I had the feeling that it was quicker with Gcc 4.5.3 , but have no actual figures. The only remaining small puzzle was 'emerge -Dup world' (testing version), which wanted to remerge Pdftk 1.44 using Gcc with 'gcj' enabled, but 'emerge -pv pdftk' offered to go ahead without any such changes. Pdftk is useful, but not so useful as to force me to re-install Java: I haven't tested whether it still works.
