Reopen if you can reproduce this with a supported gcc version; thanks.

 # equery l gcc
[ Searching for package 'gcc' in all categories among: ]
 * installed packages
[I--] [ -] sys-devel/gcc-3.4.6-r2 (3.4)
[I--] [ -] sys-devel/gcc-4.1.2 (4.1)

Both of which are supported.

We don't support gcc-3.x anywhere but on hardened profiles.
