Peter is right, unless you merged gcc with the "nocxx" USE flag.

Also, gcc will do "g++" automatically if the source files are named 
correctly (.cxx, .cc, or .cpp).  So the CC= trick should really not be 
necessary.  But rather than editing any files, you can try:

CC=g++ emerge abiword

If that doesn't work, I suggest posting the output of emerge --info and 
emerge --verbose --pretend gcc.
