In hardened we have a little problem. Partly we have gcc in portage, partly we have experimental patches in an overlay (hardened-dev). We part these ebuilds from the one in portage with "-r#", but when we get bugreports people often only post emerge --info which does not tell us which gcc they use. Example: $ emerge -p gcc These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

We can add sys-devel/gcc to profiles/info_pkgs and then it will show the version like it does for the other packages there? Will that meet your needs?

I guess the only option here is to add it to info_pkgs, as suggested. In other words, nevermind my original comment :)
Ok, it's in info_pkgs now.
