please paste
#emerge info

try emerge sync again

emerge sync didn't solve. 
:(

Solution: removed binary "just compiled" package and run again "emerge --update 
-b gcc". The source of the proplem could be the wrong order of merging 
gcc-config and/or binutils and gcc?   

[Comment 4 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) 2003-01-12 14:32:05 UTC]

Why do you add '-b' ?

[Comment 5 RAF 2003-01-13 01:46:13 UTC]

copying from man emerge 
--buildpkg (-b) 
              Tells  emerge to build binary packages for all ebuilds processed 
              in addition to actually merging the packages.  Useful for  main- 
              tainers  or  if  you  administrate multiple Gentoo Linux systems 
              (build once, emerge tbz2s everywhere).  The package will be cre- 
              ated in the ${PKGDIR}/All directory. 
thank you for your interest in my case. 
:D 

[Comment 6 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) 2003-01-16 01:08:49 UTC]

Actually it gives the solution:

------------------------------------------------
>>> To force rebuild, touch gcc-3.2.1-r6.ebuild
