Thank you for replying to this thread.
I have just checked and found out that, after upgrading my gcc
from version gcc-4.7.3-r1 to version 4.8.3, I got the following
message:
>>> Installing (1 of 1) sys-devel/gcc-4.8.3
* The current gcc config appears valid, so it will not be
* automatically switched for you. If you would like to
* switch to the newly installed gcc version, do the

* source /etc/profile
* Switching native-compiler to x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.7.3 ...>>> Regenerating
/etc/ld.so.cache...
[ ok ]
* If you have issues with packages unable to locate libstdc++.la,

But I noticed only the last part of it, starting from
* Messages for package sys-devel/gcc-4.8.3 line.
Well, probably I should be more attentive...
