Nope, read it again. See the < atom in front of the GCC version? This means "remove any version LESS THAN the specified version." Let's say you're upgrading from 4.1 to 4.2. Once the upgrade is complete, running "emerge -aC <gcc-4.2" will prompt to remove gcc 4.1, not 4.2. The guide is correct. Please read "man emerge" to learn more about atoms such as >, <, and =.
