27 Maybe because you also did not build gcc 4.3.3 with objc and then
28 portage goes on until it reaches the newest version. Since none of the
29 installed met the dependency, it takes the latest one to show you what
30 to do, assuming you use this as standard. Which is a good assumption
31 for most cases...
