When trying to emerge libreoffice-bin while having gcc-4.9.4 installed, the ebuild fails with the message:

Works fine here with gcc 4.9.4... 
What does your gcc-config say?

$ gcc-config -l
 [1] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.9.4 *
 [2] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-5.4.0

I set my compiler to CC=clang and CXX=clang++ by accident and hence triggered the error.

I am not sure if we should
* set it to RESOLVED->INVALID 
or 
* rename it to "app-office/libreoffice-bin-5.2 detects clang-3.9 as <=gcc-4.4"

I'm also unsure, maybe the bug wranglers could comment. 

Depending on how things are handled for bin-packages, this bug maybe should even block 588226 .
