Yes sorta 1.4.
I still have production servers in place that were based on the
Gentoo-1.2/4 era. The smooth migration path away from 1.4 profiles
correlates to having a proper default-linux/$ARCH/gcc2 profile. 
So far it looks as if only x86 has made this move while every other arch
appears to be letting the <=1.4 profiles rot.
