As i wrote in my other post:
there is no choice! boostrap.sh does what it does:
- installs gcc 3.4
- leaves the gcc 3.3 from the stage1 tarball unchanged

So actually the first packages compiled by "emerge -e system" are
compiled with the gcc 3.3 which came with the stage1 tarball.
And that "emerge -e system" updates gcc 3.3 - well, that is only a
side-effect of other things!
