GCC broke and can't compile anything, not even gcc.

Here is the error I get:

Edit: It seems that the mingw32 compiler was causing the problem. Unmerge cross-mingw32/gcc solved the problem.

Try running gcc-config and having it update the wrappers, then env-update && source /etc/profile. I don't what context this is occuring in: did you just install gentoo or do a big update?

try unsetting CFLAGS and LDFLAGS .. just to test if crazy CFLAGS/LDFLAGS would be the cause

I traced the issue to cross-mingw32/gcc-3.4.1. Somehow it made my system think the mingw32 compiler was the main compiler. The cross-compiler must be why the emerge info that I posted shows the gcc compiler to be 3.4.1 even though I have sys-devel/gcc-4.1.1-r1 installed.

According to this bug, the older version of the cross-compiler isn't supported.
