I would usually wait to get a working, bootable system before worrying about updating everything to the newest version possible, however I'm still surprised that the configure script took issue with GCC this early in the installation process. > The gcc compiler works this time though the pcre package continues to > break.

Please remember to post the entire log of emerge, and the output of `emerge --info <problematic package>`. Gzip the former if it is very large. BTW: please stop top-posting (that is, quoting the entire thread and then prepending your response). It is not only a tremendous waste of disk space, but also makes it unclear as to which part of the quoted message you're replying. Interleaved style seems to be the most commonly used here.
