[gentoo-dev] Gcc-3.3.1-r2 problems?

Anyone else having problems with gcc-3.3.1-r2? After I updated gcc and
then emerged some updates to various other programs (xmms, gkrellm, ...)
I'm unable to start any of those programs. They seg-fault as soon as I
try to start 'em. 

How should I go about it if I wanted a lesser version of gcc? It seems
as all programs compiled with 3.3.1-r2 won't work so I doubt gcc would
and that sort of excludes a reemerge of gcc. 

Is there any way to "pin" gcc to under a specific version? And please
don't answear /etc/portage/profiles/package.mask as that file gets
overwritten at every emerge sync...

Right now I would be _very_ thankful for any and all responses I get as
my last resort would be a reinstallation of my entire system which I
would very much like to avoid.

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28875 :
i (and some other ppl on the forum) have come to the conclusion, that some 
packages built with gcc-r2 will be broken and segfault right away. some 
examples are xmms, nethack, wine. it seems that not all user configurations 
are affected (see this thread: 
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=84803).

personally i use 3.3.1-r1 and i think i've only found 2 packages that die with 
it (the preproccessing error that Az refers to in the Changelog)

correct
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask
try using /etc/portage/package.mask and /etc/portage/package.unmask

Thanks for the suggestion. The problem now is to get a "working" version
of gcc installed again...

No, it doesn't. /usr/portage/profile/package.mask gets overwritten at 
every 'emerge sync'

Sorry for replying to myself, just wanted to say that I don't need
anymore help in the matter... I just masked gcc-3.3 in
/etc/portage/package.mask and reemerged gcc and all was good (after a
little reemerging of packages compiled with 3.3)

Thanks for your help.

if you have trouble getting gcc reinstalled, you can try to get somebody who 
is on arch to quickpkg gcc for you.

If anybody ever told you that file was where to do stuff they are wrong, if 
they told you /etc/portage/package.mask then they are correct.
