I have been running a Gcc-3.4.3-r1 system whose toolkit was built using three compilations and a pair of emerge -e systems, (aka robmoss method). today i performed an emerge -uD system and caught the 20050110 ebuild of gcc 3.4.3. the update went fine, except for errors being issued on the compile of sys-libs/ncurses-5.4-r5. the output looks like this: Configuring NCURSES 5.4 ABI 5 (Mon Jan 17 18:48:59 CST 2005) checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu Configuring for linux-gnu checking for prefix... /usr checking for i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc... i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc checking for C compiler default output... checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking whether we are cross compiling... yes checking for executable suffix... checking for object suffix... checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... no checking whether i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc accepts -g... no checking how to run the C preprocessor... i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -E checking for POSIXized ISC... no checking for i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc option to accept ANSI C... no configure: error: Your compiler does not appear to recognize prototypes.

Can you pleasse verify that going down to 3.4.3-r1 fixes the problem for you? I just bootstrapped -> emerge system/gnome/kde an entire amd64 2005.0 system using this compiler, and I didn't hit any problem like this.
it seems that i may have been caught by the "ncurses deathgrip": total system clusterb0rkage as a result of recompiling ncurses without having the USE="unicode" flag set: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=274175&highlight=ncurses+deathgrip i was able to solve the problem by doing the following: ln -sf /lib/libncurses.so.5 /lib/libnursesw.so.5 revdep-rebuild --soname libnursesw.so5 rm /lib/libncursesw.so.5
