[gentoo-amd64] eselect-compiler multilib updates

[Jeremy Huddleston]

Sorry I've been a bit inactive of late, but I had a few cycles last  
week, so I fixed up the eselect-compiler ebuild to better handle the  
transition from gcc-config and updated toolchain.eclass to update all  
toolchains for the profile (ie it'll update both the x86_64 and i686  
compiler when a new version of gcc is emerged).  I'd like to remove  
it from package.mask sometime soon, but I'd like to make sure these  
changes fix up all those kinks.  I've tested it out a bit on my amd64  
and x86 profiles, but I'd like to get more feedback.  So if anyone  
still using gcc-config wouldn't mind testing it out, it'd be  
appreciated.  All you need to do is add the following to /etc/portage/ 
package.unmask:

app-admin/eselect-conmpiler

then emerge eselect-compiler and unmerge gcc-config.  If you need  
backwards compatibility, you can also add the following to  
package.unmask:
sys-devel/gcc-config

then just update gcc-config instead of unmerging it.  This just gives  
you a wrapper which takes the same syntax as the older gcc-configs  
and makes the appropriate call to eselect-compiler.

Please report any bugs you find in bugzilla and assign them directly  
to me (eradicator@g.o).  After I'm sure this is working good  
for us on amd64, I'll ask for more preople on gentoo-dev to test it  
out before finally unmasking it.

Thanks,
Jeremy
