It outputs the list of possible profiles and I think the asterisk
shows what I'm running.  And also verified that by gcc --version:

 [1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.6 *
 [2] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.6-hardened
 [3] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.6-hardenednopie
 [4] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.6-hardenednopiessp
 [5] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.6-hardenednossp
 [6] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6
 [7] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6-hardened
 [8] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6-hardenednopie
 [9] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6-hardenednopiessp
 [10] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6-hardenednossp

I believe gcc was updated prior to glibc and no I didn't run the
env-update && source /etc/profile

However I have done so now and get what appears to be the same failure
on glibc.

I've looked through the INSTALL file for glibc and it does specify a
newer version of gcc than I am running.

   Recommended Tools for Compilation
   =================================

   [...]

    * GCC 3.4 or newer, GCC 4.1 recommended

So it appears then that something is wrong with this update process.
emerge -v -uDp gcc doesn't want to update the current gcc which is
3.3.6  yet the glibc it wants to install  requires a newer
gcc.... bad.

In fact running emerge -v -uDp gcc only wants to (U) update glibc to a
version that requires a newer gcc to be installed.  Something is very
wrong in this picture.

I'm tempted to try installing a newer gcc like maybe gcc-4* and see if
that cures this problem.... do you think that would be wise?
