But I've installed it in a virtual gentoo ~amd64 machine, so I know that the failure you are seeing was introduced when the 'jit' useflag was added to the gcc ebuild. You can work around the failure by installing 5.3.0 with the -jit useflag (which should succeed) and *then* switch to 5.3.0 using gcc-config before re-installing 5.3.0 with +jit. David mentioned that he succeeded by using gcc-4.9 but I had to use the workaround I described above.
