I was rebuilding world with new gcc-4.2.0 toolchain when this occurred.

Ooopps, thats gcc-4.1.2 that I was originally able to compile it on.
Debug unpack_makeself() in /usr/portage/eclass/eutils.eclass Should be identified as version 2.1.4
Right. GCC won't have anything to do with enemy-territory working or not (seriously, you can remove gcc and it would still install completely) since the game is completely binary.
OK. I've tested this with your listed versions of GCC and as I knew it would, it works perfectly for me. Turn off any overlays before trying again. I bet you've got something in an overlay causing this, as the tree is fine with regards to unpacking the Makeself archive.
