Like the kernel, new versions of GCC are automatically pulled in, but you have to eselect the new one manually (I don't know the reason; I assume it is to avoid leaving the user with a broken compiler). Personally, I just check the emerge output to see if a new version of GCC was merged, and if so, I eselect it and rebuild libtool as described on the wiki. cal
