[gentoo-user] gcc upgrade: Active gcc profile is invalid!

[Jarry <mr.jarry@gmail.com>]

Hi,
I just tried to upgrade gcc (stable amd64, from 4.4.3-r2
to 4.4.4-r2) following the procedure recommended in Gentoo
GCC Upgrade Guide:

emerge -uav gcc

At the end of compilation, I got these strange messages:
====================================================

  * gcc-config: Could not locate 'x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.4.3'
  in '/etc/env.d/gcc/'
!
  * Running 'fix_libtool_files.sh 4.4.3'
  * Scanning libtool files for hardcoded gcc library paths...
cat: ld.so.conf.d/*.conf: No such file or directory
  * gcc-config: Active gcc profile is invalid!
gcc-config: error: could not run/locate 'gcc'
:0: assertion failed: (gcc -dumpversion) | getline NEWVER)

  * Switching native-compiler to x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.4.4 ...
  * gcc-config: Active gcc profile is invalid!
  * Your gcc has a bug with GCC_SPECS.
  * Please re-emerge gcc.

 >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache... 
    [ ok ]

  * If you intend to use the gcc from the new profile in an already
  * running shell, please remember to do:

  *   # source /etc/profile

  * If you have issues with packages unable to locate libstdc++.la,
  * then try running 'fix_libtool_files.sh' on the old gcc versions.
  * You might want to review the GCC upgrade guide when moving between
  * major versions (like 4.2 to 4.3):

 >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...
 >>> Recording sys-devel/gcc in "world" favorites file...
 >>> Auto-cleaning packages...
 >>> No outdated packages were found on your system.

  * Regenerating GNU info directory index...
  * Processed 7 info files.
====================================================

What does that "invalid profile" mean, and how can I fix it?
