Please Willie, that's too obvious and was attempted before I posted the first time. ;-) I repeat that the suggestion from Jacob doesn't work: dragonfly ~ # gcc-config -l [1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.3 [2] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.4 [3] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.4-hardened [4] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.4-hardenednopie [5] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.4-hardenednopiessp [6] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.4-hardenednossp [7] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.3.2 * dragonfly ~ # emerge -Cp =sys-devel/gcc-3.4.4 >>> These are the packages that would be unmerged: --- Couldn't find '=sys-devel/gcc-3.4.4' to unmerge. >>> No packages selected for removal by unmerge dragonfly ~ # emerge -Cp =sys-devel/gcc-3.3.3 >>> These are the packages that would be unmerged: --- Couldn't find '=sys-devel/gcc-3.3.3' to unmerge. >>> No packages selected for removal by unmerge dragonfly ~ # Again as history, I first noticed this issue when emerging gcc-4.3.2. I had 4.1.2 on the system, in use, as well as these old line items in gcc-config. Once I had rebuilt the system with 4.3.2 I did an emerge -C =sys-devel/gcc-4.1.2 and got rid of that one both from the system and this list, but this thread was about 'stranded' options which are the 3.3.3 and 3.4.4 selections. Are these options held in a file somewhere that can be edited by hand? Is there some option to gcc-config that can clean them up? Thanks, Mark
