So it appears then that something is wrong with this update process. emerge -v -uDp gcc doesn't want to update the current gcc which is 3.3.6 yet the glibc it wants to install requires a newer gcc.... bad.
No, you already have gcc 3.4 installed. But you need to follow the gcc 3.3 to 3.4 migration guide: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gcc-upgrading.xml *DANGER*: if you simply use gcc-config to select the 3.4 compiler and do not follow the migration guide, you will likely end up with a broken system.
In fact running emerge -v -uDp gcc only wants to (U) update glibc to a version that requires a newer gcc to be installed. Something is very wrong in this picture.
Run it again without the '-u' option, and it will show you that you already have gcc 3.4 installed. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
