Many thanks for your reply, Dale.
When I'm stuck on something like this it's really appreciated!

Further to this I've just discovered that I have two versions of gcc
installed on my system. Could this be related?

Should I `emerge -C` one of these versions of gcc, or would that be a
Dumb Idea?
I would make sure to run revdep-rebuild first to make sure nothing
will
break.
`revdep-rebuild` shows nothing needs fixing, but...

Also run gcc-config -l and make sure which version you are using. It
should have a little * next to the one you are using.
That shows the same as ` `which gcc` --version ` above:
$ gcc-config -l
[1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.6 *
[2] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.6-hardened

I've never used `gcc-config` before.
Should I change to 3.4.6?
And what do I do then? `revdep-rebuild`? `emerge world`?
May want to wait on a serious guru to make sure of all this too. This
can be one of those that you can't be to careful with.
I'm hoping my further questions will prompt one to reply. ;D
Stroller.
