OK, this is one of the weirder bug-reports I have filed... During the emerge of evolution-2.6.2, something will go very wrong, and a line with a single 'y' will be printed over and over again in a seemingly endless loop... (Endless to the point that I have a 4 gig log file in /var/log/portage, and all apps were killed due to lack of resources when I got home today...)

Created attachment 90364 [details] Edited log-file from emerge
The cause of this bug is confcache... Emerging evolution-2.6.2 without confcache gives no problems whatsoever... It should be reassigned...
Did you make sure you deleted the cache, when switching the used compiler version? Confcache doesn't care about that and has been masked again, therefore.
This shouldn't be an issue, since gcc was last emerged here on jun 7, whereas confache wasn't installed on my system until jun 13. Beyond that, I am not aware of manually switching between gcc versions, and gcc-4.1.1 is still standard compiler here...
confcache is now package.masked; reopen if you have a patch.
