Alan,
Thanks for that. It's funny you should mention python, I just inadvertently unmerged it (doh...). I've got another gentoo box running a newer version of gcc and a newer kernel. Do you think I can get what I need out of it?

Thanks for your help,
-Richard

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
