ike the aforementioned one, which should result in > that particular ebuild getting fixed, instead of the bug being marked > INVALID. As I said above, don't take the "INVALID" marking personally. The fact is that from the perspective of the relevant devs, the resolution of the bug was to advise the user to upgrade gcc, which meant no change required to the tree. See https://bugs.gentoo.org/page.cgi?id=fields.html - as far as devs are concerned, "The problem described is not a bug" so INVALID is the correct resolution marking. -- Kevin F.

a good idea in general. The profile currently says that for x86, gcc must be ">=sys-devel/gcc-3.3.4-r1" - if you do # emerge >=sys-devel/gcc-3.3.4-r1 on a current tree you'll get a much higher version.
