Did you have eselect-compiler installed at some point in the past?
(In reply to comment #1) > Did you have eselect-compiler installed at some point in the past? > Probably, yes. I had installed (and removed) eselect-compiler, as far as I remember. Does it affect? ... O.K, now I found /etc/eselect/compiler/select.conf, which says; ----------- [i686-pc-linux-gnu] profile=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.1/x86-vanilla [x86_64-pc-linux-gnu] profile=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.1/amd64-vanilla ----------- Modified as s/4.1.1/4.1.2/, then the problem seems be solved. Which is it a bug or not? Can I close this issue?
If you removed eselect-compiler, and put back gcc-config, then you probably have some stale wrapper binaries lying around from eselect-compiler. You need to get rid of these; I posted some instructions somewhere but can't find them now :/ Anyway; try something like: $ find /usr/bin | \ xargs grep -l "Could not determine which compiler to use" 2> /dev/null to find the stale wrappers, and just remove them. The list should include 'gcov' but should _not_ include 'gcc' itself - if it does include 'gcc', _don't_ delete anything but report back here first (otherwise you may end up with no compiler!).

I cannot believe that deleting all of them is really safe. I will try re-emerge sys-devel/gcc and sys-devel/gcc-config, rather than deletion.
Re-emerging those two won't get rid of the extraneous wrappers, although if any of those files should come from gcc and gcc-config, they'll be replaced by emerging - it certainly won't hurt if you have the time and resource to do that. However gcc-config installs wrappers for: {,${CTARGET}-}{cpp,cc,gcc,c++,g++,f77,g77,gcj,gcjh,gfortran,gdc,gdmd} and none of the files you list match that (note that with gcc-config, on amd64 you just get wrappers for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu and none for i686-pc-linux-gnu), so all the ones you listed are redundant and can be safely removed. Note that they're just eselect-compiler wrappers, the actual binaries are still present elsewhere and should be set in your path by the gcc-config setup.
(In reply to comment #5) You are right. After re-emerge, I did; ---------- find /usr/bin -type f -ctime +3 -print0 | xargs -0 fgrep -al 'Could not determine which compiler to use' | xargs rm; gcc-config x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.2 ---------- Any problem has not seen currently. I am changing the status as "INVALID" for the moment. If anyone thought that stale binaries should be deleted when uninstall, then please change the status (and severity, probably).
*** Bug 176524 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
gcc-config also installs a gcov wrapper so as to clobber any eselect stuff left over
