Couple of things first. Does 'gcc-config -l' show anything (ie: a list of compilers still installed). Secondly, you can relatively easily restore a gcc by creating a binary package from another gentoo server (I forget the exact steps for this, basically you can dump all the files provided by an ebuild into a binary that you can install by simply untarring it in your /) or use the binary package that is on one of the install/complete CDs.
