It looks like


bash-2.05b# gcc-config -l
[1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.5 *
[2] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.5-hardened
[3] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.5-hardenednopie
[4] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.5-hardenednossp
bash-2.05b#

"not". Should "it" be at gcc 3.4 then ? i.e. is it likely that thats the 
latest "stable" version? because when I've done "emerge -p gcc" (or -up 
gcc for that matter) I just nothing to upgrade or should the 3.3.5 that 
appears above be OK?

Or, is it just that the boot up dialogue reports "Starting natsemi" then 
"natsemi failed"? Though because nothing graphical starts up either with 
the 2.6.11-r4 I seem to be able to run links which (I think?) confirms 
the connections actually working.

Hence "confusion reigns"!
