Now, that I've got your attention. IMHO above should NOT fail - most of
the software in portage is already using ${HOST}-gcc instead and gcc
symlink is just a convenience.

But it does. In packages I will never suspect being nasty (qt, lynx) and
ones I would, but they shouldn't (fuse)

What is so important in that feature? Crosscompilation and distcc. 
For example, I have alpha-unknown-linux-gnu running as a distcc server
for x86 box. And, it does not work for those packages.

I got sick of filling 3 almost identical bug reports 
110040, 110086 and 110087 and I'm not even at half of emerge -uD world.

So, if you agree that it IS a problem, do the `rm` and run ebuilds you
maintain. You will save me another 10 or so unnended bugreports.
