Or don't install them at all. Put all the toolchain packages
in /etc/portage/profile/package.provided or create a custom profile
without a toolchain in @system. Then build the packages on another
computer. If this is a production server, you'd want to test things
before installing on the live server, so build everything on the test
box and install on the server with emerge -K.
