Sorry I've been a bit inactive of late, but I had a few cycles last week, so I fixed up the eselect-compiler ebuild to better handle the transition from gcc-config and updated toolchain.eclass to update all toolchains for the profile (ie it'll update both the x86_64 and i686 compiler when a new version of gcc is emerged). I'd like to remove it from package.mask sometime soon, but I'd like to make sure these changes fix up all those kinks. I've tested it out a bit on my amd64 and x86 profiles, but I'd like to get more feedback. So if anyone still using gcc-config wouldn't mind testing it out, it'd be appreciated. All you need to do is add the following to /etc/portage/ package.unmask:

app-admin/eselect-conmpiler

then emerge eselect-compiler and unmerge gcc-config. If you need backwards compatibility, you can also add the following to package.unmask:
sys-devel/gcc-config

then just update gcc-config instead of unmerging it. This just gives you a wrapper which takes the same syntax as the older gcc-configs and makes the appropriate call to eselect-compiler.

Please report any bugs you find in bugzilla and assign them directly to me ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). After I'm sure this is working good for us on amd64, I'll ask for more preople on gentoo-dev to test it out before finally unmasking it.

Thanks,
Jeremy
