Try:

$ gcc-config 1

This will tell the system that 4.1.2 is the guy to use (I guess your 
update removed an older version that was the default?)

Every seen this error?

# gcc-config -l
 * gcc-config: Active gcc profile is invalid!
 [1] i586-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.2

Here's what I get when I run gcc-config-l:

wheeljack firewall # gcc-config -l
 [1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.2.2 *

The * indicates that this is my active profile. I see that when you list
your profiles, none of them is marked as active. It sounds to me like your
current profile is a profile that is not available to you. To replicate your
error, I modified  /etc/env.d/gcc/config-i686-pc-linux-gnu:

#CURRENT=i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.2.2
CURRENT=invalid

To fix your problem, you need to set your profile to one of the profiles you
have available. To see your choices, list /etc/env.d/gcc, then use
gcc-config to set your profile:

wheeljack firewall # ls /etc/env.d/gcc
config-i686-pc-linux-gnu  i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.2.2
wheeljack firewall # gcc-config i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.2.2
 * Switching native-compiler to i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.2.2 ...
>>> 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

yep I'm building a minimized system for a firewall with hardened kernel
sources but with the regular (default) compiler...  I did get
adventurous this time around and set the (PIC) flag just for grins.
Who knows, maybe the next time, I'll build a fully Hardened system....

I ran a 'emerge -a --depclean and that removed the old gcc 3.4
Settings must have not been happy at this point.

Here's the details of what I did to fix it

 # source /etc/profile  <just to be sure>

 # gcc-config 1
 * Switching native-compiler to i586-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.2 ...
 * Your gcc has a bug with GCC_SPECS.
 * Please re-emerge gcc.
 * http://bugs.gentoo.org/68395


 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


# unset GCC_SPECS && emerge gcc"

All seems to be compiling on an old pentium......

thanks Mark (&Greg)
