OK, I emerged eselect-compiler and all's well so far.
When I went to unemerge gcc-config, I got a scary ;-) message:
!!! 'sys-devel/gcc-config' is part of your system profile.
!!! Unmerging it may be damaging to your system.
Before I unemerge gcc-config can I back out eselect-compiler and restore
the old gcc-config if things go awry?

P.S. I changed the native CTARGET from i686-pc-linux-gnu to
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu. I assume this is the right thing to do since my
machine is an AMD64. I do not seem to have CTARGET set anywhere, in
particular, it's not in my /etc/make.conf.
