Don't know if this is intentional, but

emerge /usr/portage/app-office/openoffice/openoffice-1.0.0-r1.ebuild

failed because it could not find gcc3.  As far as I can tell, gcc3 is not
masked, but I could not find it in package.mask.  I had to do:

ebuild /usr/portage/sys-devel/gcc/gcc-3.0.4-r6.ebuild merge
emerge openoffice

And it (eventually!) worked.  Nice one!

It is intentional.  Problem is that you cannot pull gcc-3.1 in by DEPEND,
but have to merge it via "ebuild foo.ebuild merge".
