20 Partially answering this myself: you must be using gcc-config-1.8-r1, and have
21 none of the other still affected packages installed (e.g., java, hence no
22 java-config-wrapper).
23
24 Following bug #549508, I could put java-config-wrapper in package.provided and
25 unmask gcc-config-1.8-r1. Then I should be able to put openrc in
26 package.provided and finally depclean it. This should work as a temporary
27 solution until bugs #504116 and #511500 are resolved.
28
29 Does that sound sane?

31 The only two scary looking bugs I found on gcc-config are 547586 and 547962.
32 Bug #547586 is apparently completely benign (whitespace differences in "make
33 check" output), whereas bug #547962 caused gcc-config-1.8-r1 to be hard masked.
34 However, the underlying bug in gentoo-functions has apparently been fixed [0]
35 (according to its ChangeLog this was done in version 0.8, which is arch), so it
36 seems to me that the hard mask can be lifted.
