There is an official guide to upgrading gcc http://www.gentoo.org/doc/e <http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gcc-upgrading.xml> n/gcc-upgrading.xml <http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gcc-upgrading.xml> Since you are already at version 4 it looks like you'll need to do the following: # emerge -uav gcc (Please substitute "i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.1" with the GCC version and CHOST settings you've upgraded to:) # gcc-config i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.1 # env-update && source /etc/profile (Rebuilding libtool) # emerge --oneshot -av libtool The authors of the guide also recommend # emerge -eav system # emerge -eav world It must be the env-update && source /etc/profile that keeps your new settings Regards, dsitsolutions
