/etc/env.d isn't under CONFIG_PROTECT by default (due to /etc/make.globals) so
those files really should have been removed when gcc-3.4.5 was unmerged. I
think the most likely cause would be if they were altered after they were
installed. Either way they are orphans so as others have suggested it should
be safe to just delete them.

It's irrelevant.
