If your gcc-config is showing 3.3.5 then I don't think it's likely to be
a compiler problem/mismatch.
However, I have found that the latest nVidia drivers don't cause the
same problems.
I notice that you're currently using 6629-r1. You might try unmasking
the later versions:
echo "media-video/nvidia-kernel ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
echo "media-video/nvidia-glx ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
echo "x11-base/opengl-update ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge - p nvidia-kernel opengl-update nvidia-glx
I've been using nvidia-kernel-1.0.6629-r4 and nvidia-glx-1.0.6629-r5
without problems, but I also notice there's 1.0.7167-r1 out now. Gotta
try that one!
