Thats pretty weird becausethe N in each line says portage thinks those are new (as opposed to updated) packages. Now of course some of them may be new, but portage? gcc? at most they should be updates, portage is definitley on your system or you couldn't run emerge to get this output anyway.
I suspect you are either you running this from the install cd (but not chrooted), or your portage database is borked.
Well... Now it's completely dead... I ran 'emerge -ev dvdrip' and it removed gcc... Then the last 90 odd failed...
Drat... I'm trying a binary install of gcc from PORTAGE_BINHOST="http://gentoo.phaseburn.net/packages/"; but I'm not holding my breath... How do I tell if my portage database is OK or not? And if not, how do I fix it? (Re-install? I really hate that word).
