When I ugraded to 2005.0, gcc 3.4.4-r1 was working fine.
Yours truely did the most stupid thing and ummerged gcc, crippling
python and hence all of portage. I recoverd via the how-to
specifically for this. Of cousrse there was no binary for gcc 3.4.4 so
I immediately tried to emerge it.

This is not an upgrade problem, its a dufus admin (me) problem.

BTW the emul-linux-x86-glibc ebuild says "32bit libc is now provided
by sys-libs/glibc."
however I can't emerge glibc because it depends on gcc 3.4.4 which needs glibc.
A catch 22.

I need a binary glibc 2.3.5-r2
