Hmm, but ... |

|

there is the possibility to have multiple gcc versions installed. So why |
| 10 |
not set CC and/or CXX variables inside the ebuild, and then compile the |

Well, hmmm, you might want to say, that there will be trouble because of |
| 16 |
applications/libraries linked to different libstdc++ versions - or |

I'm always willing to learn, but this really bugs me, because gentoo |
| 20 |
really has potential for what's needed in this situation. |
