Yes, this is an issue due to a chicken in the egg problem with CONFIG_PROJECT_MASK . That file was still on your system because of one of the following problems: 1) You have used eselect-compiler during its beta testing period in package.mask, and didn't get the memo (if so, sorry... I mentioned this on gentoo-dev list) 2) You still have the /usr/$CHOST/gcc-bin/3.4.6 directory on your system, so this profile was not deleted by the ebuild. If it is neither case, then I can't really do anything to investigate further because you've already deleted the file... sorry.
