Now I'm confused.. ;) Would pruning the old gcc before running emerge -e world 
break anything that's isn't a C++ app? If no C++ apps are needed until 
emerge -e world has completed why is it bad then? I know that running e.g. 
KDE after pruning it would be... ehm.. problematic... But other than that?
