Partially answering this myself: you must be using gcc-config-1.8-r1, and have none of the other still affected packages installed (e.g., java, hence no java-config-wrapper). Following bug #549508, I could put java-config-wrapper in package.provided and unmask gcc-config-1.8-r1. Then I should be able to put openrc in package.provided and finally depclean it. This should work as a temporary solution until bugs #504116 and #511500 are resolved. Does that sound sane? The only two scary looking bugs I found on gcc-config are 547586 and 547962. Bug #547586 is apparently completely benign (whitespace differences in "make check" output), whereas bug #547962 caused gcc-config-1.8-r1 to be hard masked. However, the underlying bug in gentoo-functions has apparently been fixed [0] (according to its ChangeLog this was done in version 0.8, which is arch), so it seems to me that the hard mask can be lifted.
