1 OK, I emerged eselect-compiler and all's well so far.

3 When I went to unemerge gcc-config, I got a scary ;-) message:
4
5 !!! 'sys-devel/gcc-config' is part of your system profile.
6 !!! Unmerging it may be damaging to your system.

8 Before I unemerge gcc-config can I back out eselect-compiler and restore
9 the old gcc-config if things go awry?

13 P.S. I changed the native CTARGET from i686-pc-linux-gnu to
14 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu. I assume this is the right thing to do since my
15 machine is an AMD64. I do not seem to have CTARGET set anywhere, in
16 particular, it's not in my /etc/make.conf.
