Due to package unavailablity and the ability not to be able to generate manifests, when I did a cleanup of old ebuilds of dev-lang/ifc, I removed the latest stable x86 and ia64 versions (which was many years old). Thus, the latest version in portage can be restabled at your convenience (current 9.1.045). Thanks!
Forgot to cc arches..oops!
x86 stable
ia64 stable, closing.
