Since when did a simple GCC upgrade *automatically* REMOVE my prior GCC

I have *always* kept my prior GCC around for a while, if not until the
next upgrade, just as something to fall back on if the current one breaks.
I am NOT a happy camper.
It has always been that way for packages in the same slot. 4.5.3 and
4.5.4 are both in the "4.5" slot. I think you're confusing
patch-version upgrades with major and minor-version ones. If you emerge
GCC 4.6.3, your 4.5.4 version will be kept.
If you really wont to keep multiple patch-versions, then you must set
the "multislot" USE flag for GCC. But unless you have a reason to do
that, and it seems you don't, there's no reason to have multiple such
versions installed.
