The change came after the existance of 'gcc-config' program.
After running env-update, the ROOTPATH in /etc/profile is updated
to include /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/3.2/gcc but the new
value is not activated yet.
This will done by doing a #source /etc/profile or by logout/login.

The env_update function in portage.py stipulates :
#parse /etc/env.d and generate /etc/profile.env

The env-update script does only a call to the function :
	import portage
	portage.env_update()

Better would be that the env-update script would re-read the /etc/profile.env
file. Bug ?
