not even the directory. This exists though:

Yeah, that's right. Wasn't thinking...




But there was no config.log file in it.



That's strange.




Another reply I received off list (Dennis Freise) suggested I should
emerge -u system again.

What do you think?



I would suggest first trying to reemerge gcc-config which (according to my system) is the package that contains /lib/cpp. You can do that with:
# emerge gcc-config
Then try emerge -u system again.


OK.
I'm not completely sure what emerge does, but I guess:
* searches for packages and downloads them and their dependend packages, if they are not available locally or there is an update available on the internet.
* compiles, builds and installs them


So this leaves me another question.
Before "emerge -u system" i did "emerge sync".
So after "emerge gcc-config" is finished, should I have to "emerge sync" again before I "emerge -u system"?
