1 If you /etc/make.profile symbolic link points to
2 ../usr/portage/profiles/default-1.0
3 then /etc/make.profile/packages contains the line:
4 *=sys-devel/gcc-2.95.3-r5
5
6 which means portage will only install that version of gcc, as far as I
7 understand it.
8
9 The solution is to either A) change the symbolic link of
10 /etc/make.profile to use ../usr/portage/profiles/default-1.0-gcc3 OR
11 B) use ebuild instead of emerge. AKA:
12 ebuild /usr/portage/sys-devel/gcc/gcc-3.0.4-r5.ebuild merge
