Have been in the process of changing gcc version to 4.1.0. Previous version had difficulty with USE="objc-gc", but gotten around with installation of boehm-gc. That no longer works as it should. There now seems to be a conflict with boehm-gc and objc-gc. With objc-gc enabled gcc-4.1.0 would not compile consistently, at least not with gcc-4.1.0. I don't know why, but caused failure during gfortran compilation. Removing that flag allows gcc-4.1.0 to compile gcc-4.1.0 and ... now openoffice has no more problems, installing properly. ???? I don't understand any of that.
Trouble was most likely due to cruft from changeover to gcc-4.1.
