Just a quick note in addition to the good advice given in the rest of the 
thread.  One of the Gentoo devs (I forget which, but I'm sure someone 
knows) keeps a bunch of tarballs on a server that can be used for 
emergency restoration.  It has things like pre-compiled gcc packages, 
glibc, python, etc. from a working Gentoo system, and compiled for 
bare-bones hardware so it'll work anywhere.  Actually, it's saved my butt 
a few times now.  You can just download gcc from there, and install with 
emerge -K.
