I meant to work on this last week but got distracted.  I have a bunch of
build changes testing locally but need to make some cross compilers.

I don't think we will be moving to 5 very soon.  I have nothing against it but
Mike might be a harder sell.  I want USE deps so I'm going to do 2 at least,
then get the prefix guys on board for 3.

Like I said on the bug I don't think we want to do a new eclass (or if we did I
would make a toolchain-next for masked versions and backport stuff).
