if you run emerge info you'll see the gcc version as supplied by gcc
-dumpversion however it doesn't tell you the revision number which is something
that can be very important. It tells you the revision of glibc. The output
should be uniform. (Compare the version below with the emerge info @ the bottom.)


afr root # qpkg -nc -v -I gcc
sys-devel/gcc-3.2.2-r1
sys-devel/gcc-config-1.3.1


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge info
2.
3.




afr root # emerge info
Portage 2.0.46-r12 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.2, glibc-2.3.2_pre1-r0)

Being that you can have multiple versions installed, revisions
aren't really helpful. The idea behind the version line is to
give a good overview of the system. If you need revisions of
gcc, you can find them... I'm fine with how it is though.

It's more for bug tracking purposes. For example maybe something works in gcc-3.2.1-r6 but not in gcc-3.2.1-r5. It's more of a logical thing. And as far as the multiple versions it should give the version of the currently selected version.
