# gcc-config -l
 [1] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-6.4.0 *
 [2] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-7.3.0
#

That means, go from 6.4 -> 6.2 -> 6.0 -> ... ?

But I don't have thoose ebuilds:

$ ls -1 portage/sys-devel/gcc/
...
gcc-5.4.0-r4.ebuild
gcc-5.4.0-r5.ebuild
gcc-5.4.0-r6.ebuild
gcc-6.4.0-r1.ebuild
gcc-6.4.0-r3.ebuild
gcc-6.4.0-r4.ebuild
gcc-6.4.0-r5.ebuild
gcc-6.5.0.ebuild
...

so that means I'm on my own.
