15 Did you really took your time to read that error message, You are
16 seeing problems, except where they are.

30 Considering gentoo doesn't even have 15 years, I guess you are talking
31 to us from the future.

41 You should really step first at the documentation and then ask about
42 it, gentoo doesn't have 'new isos to install', it has stage3 tarballs.
43 you are trying to see gentoo as a binary distro.
44
45 Did you even tried to read the message before asking?
46
47 Didn't this told you anything? (From your log):

60 Upgrade your compiler and try again. But I should say from reading
61 your email you don't seem to have the attitude to be a gentoo user and
62 enjoy it, if this made think about reinstalling without even giving a
63 good read to that error message, I've using gentoo for ~2 years, and
64 even then 4.7 or 4.6, I remember was already a stable compiler, are
65 you sure you haven't upgraded in a significant more time than you say?
