gcc-config options that dont need the version as well dont work, instead giving the help. This bug may be related to #13534 . tundra portage # gcc-config --list-profiles Usage: gcc-config [Option] <CHOST>-<gcc version> Options: [--use-old] Use the old profile if one was selected. [--use-portage-chost] Only set to given profile if its CHOST is the same as that set for portage in /etc/make.conf (or one of other portage config files...). [--get-current-profile] Print current used gcc profile. [--list-profiles] Print a list of available profiles. [--print-environ] Print environment that can be used to setup things for current gcc profile, or specified one ... [--get-bin-path] Print path where binaries of given/current profile are located. [--get-lib-path] Print path where libraries of given/current profile are located. [--get-stdcxx-incdir] Print path to g++ include files of given/current profile.
Fixing #13534 made no difference to this bug.
Please 'emerge rsync' and remerge it, then try again. Also include: # emerge info # find /etc/env.d |grep gcc

I emerged gcc-r8 and got the following message... * Switching to i686-pc-linux-gnu-2.95.3 compiler... [ ok ] * Sanity check of /usr/bin/cpp failed, backing up to /usr/bin/cpp.orig * and replacing with wrapper script! If you have problems, replace it * with the original, or submit a bugreport. >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache... >>> sys-devel/gcc-2.95.3-r8 merged. And gcc-config now works. Perhaps I manually copied cpp or something.
Well, for starters you need to unmerge 2.95.3-r7. Else its anyhow not going to work ....
