10 where did you get the idea that --emptytree is needed or even a wise decision?
11 --emptytree is almost NEVER needed and since it is a troublesom procedure, it
12 should not be made, until you are totally sure, that you need it.
13
14 emerge system
15
16 is all you need to do, to get the base system.
17 After that, emerge what you like to have, but NEVER use --emptytree, except
18 when you are able to deal with the consequences.

21 NO
22
23

26 For your gcc-problem, there is the fix script, others mentioned - but a lot of
27 times all that is needed is to run gcc-config to set the correct gcc.
