[gentoo-user] unable to emerge anything...

I'm getting pretty much the same error (C compiler cannot create executables). I'm pretty sure it's because gcc-3.3.4 is installed. I've tried upgrading gcc by emerging but get the same error (catch-22 situation). 
Here's the last part of the error log which is the same with anything I try to emerge.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A quickpkg of gcc might help you out of this, it's about 7M or so so 
small enough to mail to you. Perhaps some kind soul here with similar 
settings to you can send their tbz2 of gcc-3.3.6.x

Alternatively, you might be able to unpack a working gcc tarball from a 
stage 3 onto your system and use that

It doesn't help you right now, but I've managed to screw up enough 
gentoo systems enough times that I now keep quickpkg copies of known 
good working critical packages in $PKGDIR - minimally gcc, glibc, 
python, portage, tar and a shell

I quickpkg'd a newer version of gcc with USE='-hardened' from a livecd and
emerged gentools. That did the trick. 
I've learned A LOT through this experience. The challenge was worth the
experience (I can say that now that it's over with).
Thanks very much. Gentoo is so great because of this community!

Cool. Did we ever establish what the error was precisely? I lost track 
of the thread meanwhile...
