Description Sergiy Borodych 2011-11-20 14:08:38 UTC 
I'm not sure where I can post it

After doing
USE="-cxx nocxx" emerge -1v gcc
I break my system
Now I cant re-emerge gcc with any flags :(
(Also a lot of programs do not work without libstdc++.so.6)

Thanks, those pkg'es helped me
Comment 5 Roman Žilka 2013-04-08 12:26:37 UTC 
Recently I actually set "-cxx" in make.conf, reasoning that I don't code in C++, so I don't need the flag. I've always had "-python -perl -ruby -..." too and all has been well. I let gcc re-merge with [-cxx]. Turned out to be a game over henceforth. Since every user of Gentoo needs the C++ compiler (while not necessarily a lot of other C++-related pkg-specific stuff), please consider making the cxx flag enforced for gcc for all profiles (or just removing it altogether, making g++ mandatory). So as to prevent unfortunate ends. I did have a backup, but else...
