Hi, I tried to emerge openoffice-ximian and got and error which said change your gcc profile. I ran gcc-config powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-3.2.1 Now I get errors when I try to run emerge (or anything python) and can't get back to the newer gcc. error says... /usr/bin/python: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/3.2.3/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_3.3' not found (required by /usr/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/3.4.1/libstdc++.so.6) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. tried gcc-config powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-3.4.1 2. tried to look for a python.conf type file 3. recompiled python from source Actual Results: gcc-config powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-3.4.1 gives * Switching to powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-3.4.1 compiler... /usr/bin/python: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/3.2.3/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_3.3' not found (required by /usr/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/3.4.1/libstdc++.so.6) * /usr/bin/gcc-config: Could not get portage CHOST!

1.3.7 should handle this better if your system is still broken, edit /etc/ld.so.conf and re-order the gcc-lib paths so that the newer path comes first ... then run `ldconfig` and you should be able to run gcc-config again
