After system updating, I cound not emerge any new package, but get this message: 'gcc-config: Active gcc profile is invalid!' As you can see in the last part of this Topic from Gentoo's Forum: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-7652106.html#7652106. GCC was updated to 4.8.3 but I did not select it. Then I ran emerge --depclean, which removed my active older gcc,leaving with a newer but inactve gcc. My suggest, in order to prevent manaully GCC's select, is of 2 options: 1. After updating GCC, Portage will select automatically,the newer GCC. 2. At least- Adding request for GCC configuration, to the last message of system updating:'IMPORTANT: 2 config files in '/etc' need updating.'
1) Please post your `emerge --info' output in a comment. 2) Please attach the entire gcc-config output in a comment.

gcc-config Usage: gcc-config [options] [CC Profile] Change the current compiler profile, or give info about profiles. Options: -C, --nocolor Disable color output -O, --use-old Use the old profile if one was selected. -f, --force Make sure all config files are regenerated. -c, --get-current-profile Print current used gcc profile. -l, --list-profiles Print a list of available profiles. -S, --split-profile Split profiles into their components -E, --print-environ Print environment that can be used to setup the current gcc profile, or a specified one. -B, --get-bin-path Print path where binaries of the given/current profile are located. -L, --get-lib-path Print path where libraries of the given/current profile are located. Profile names are of the form: <CTARGET>-<version> For example: i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.2.1

Please be aware that I already had solved the GCC config issue, by manually select the newer, however, I opened this file bug, to see if you can prevent this manually configuration, and get it done mautomaticaly!

It isn't Gentoo's policy to force an upgrade... If you want multiple GCC's you need to use emerge --noreplace sys-devel/gcc-<version>
(In reply to Carter Young from comment #5) > It isn't Gentoo's policy to force an upgrade... If you want multiple GCC's > you need to use emerge --noreplace sys-devel/gcc-<version> May be I was not so clear - As you can see from the attached link of Gentoo's Forum in the origin file - It was not a case of forcing upgrade: During last system's updating, GCC was upgraded by portage, and afterword --depclean removed the old one. So at this stage , the system had only one GCC - the new one - but it was not selected, so I could not emerge any new package. For me, as facing this issue for the first time, it took quite long time till figure out the problem, and resolve it with the Forum's help. All I am asking is that, when depclean removes the old ver (this action itself should be considered...), then it should select the new one, otherwise, we left without GCC at all. At least, portage should send a message at the end of update, that we need to configure GCC. Regards
I can confirm this behavior. Anytime I do "ebuild ... gcc install" then I ran the testsuite and call "ebuild ... gcc merge" it removes previous active gcc's env file and then call to fix_libtool_files.sh fails two times because gcc-config does not see it. After ". /etc/profile" is called in console fix_libtool_files.sh (with parameters seen in failure report produced before) can be ran by hand without troubles. Maybe the previous active gcc env file can be removed in pkg_postrm phase?
this should be fixed by: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=e5fdfd991ec21885d4141440da97189f29dfa7b9 the bad news is that it won't help any existing installed versions or binpkgs because the pkg_* funcs are cached in the ebuild metadata, but it will help with all new builds moving forward. i guess lesson of the day is don't unmerge what you're using :).
