8 The way I read it, the gcc-3.4.4-r1.ebuild includes a dependency on
9 libstdc++-v3 and =sys-devel/gcc-3.3* if "build" is not in your USE
10 environment. The bootstrap during bootstrap.sh sets that build flag. Any
11 subsequent installs of gcc-3.4.4-r1 are going to install libstdc++-v3, no
12 matter what you do (at least x86 users). Or maybe I am just reading that
13 PDEPEND wrong.

15 Regardless, I have never had to mask out lower versions of gcc before. I
16 assumed the reason for the dependency was a half ass attempt to keep idiots
17 from thoughtlessly destroying their toolchain.
