I tried emergin gmp on the x86 host but obviously it didn't work. I've never used crossdev or distcc, as I simply continually upgrade a single machine (currently a dual Opteron 242, next upgrade to dual-cores, last upgrade to 8 gig memory, upgrade before that to 4x300 gig sata drive kernel RAID, upgrade before that...) so have no need for it. However... Do you have the same gcc version on all hosts? If not, distcc can fail with strange errors from what I've read (and it makes sense). If you have already upgraded one of them to gcc-4.1.1, unless you unmerged the previous gcc, you should be able to use either gcc-config or eselect compiler (if you've already upgraded to it) to select the old gcc that hopefully matches the other versions you are using with distcc. If you hadn't forgotten that and all were the same, don't mind me, as I know little else about it. Just thought you might have forgotten this bit as 3.4.x was the latest unmasked for quite some time. One other thing, based on the error... Except for many apps in the science area, fortran isn't much used any more. If you aren't running anything of that nature, chances are pretty good you can set USE=-fortran. Of course, with distcc, you'll probably want to keep everything either with or without fortran. Oh, and the fortran USE flag used to be f77. The fortran USE flag is enabled by default, so it's possible you have it on even tho you don't need it.
