14 Maybe I missed something, but I believe the easy (and most correct)
15 answere would be /etc/portage/package.mask. Mask out package versions
16 greater than your current gcc version, and portage will refuse to
17 update it (or proceed with any updates that depend on the newer
18 version, so don't forget about having edited the file!).
