Tried that and the emerge failed for gcc. I did an "emerge --sync" and tried
again using -uDNav and it came up with the following:

 USE="multilib" FEATURES="-sandbox" emerge -uDNav gcc portage

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No] No

I already have gcc 4.2.3 installed and emerge wants to downgrade to 4.1.2.
I'd prefer to stay with 4.2.3. Is there a way to force it? Do I use
/etc/portage/package.use to set the use flags permanently?
Thank you,
Bob
