Alan, |

Thanks for that. It's funny you should mention python, I just inadvertently unmerged it (doh...). I've got another gentoo box running a newer version of gcc and a newer kernel. Do you think I can get what I need out of it? |

A quickpkg of gcc might help you out of this, it's about 7M or so so |
| 22 |
small enough to mail to you. Perhaps some kind soul here with similar |
| 23 |
settings to you can send their tbz2 of gcc-3.3.6.x |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Alternatively, you might be able to unpack a working gcc tarball from a |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
stage 3 onto your system and use that |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
It doesn't help you right now, but I've managed to screw up enough |
| 30 |
gentoo systems enough times that I now keep quickpkg copies of known |
| 31 |
good working critical packages in $PKGDIR - minimally gcc, glibc, |
| 32 |
python, portage, tar and a shell |
