Uhm.. Are you sure you didn't mess up something like rm -rf /usr ? ;)
Seriously: That gcc-config "disappears" is quite strange, but that
portage misses binaries is - evil. ;)

I installed 2.0.47-r2 as well on this laptop and I still have the
portage-binaries (dobin etc.) and gcc-config. I'd guess it's - uhm -
portage-unrelated.
