how to avoid updating gcc?

Hi!

I'm trying to do a stage1 install here, and I've got a working gcc3.2.2+glibc emegred. But when I tried to do emerge -p system, it said gcc3.2.3-r1 is available so gcc needs to be updated, but compilation of gcc3.2.3 fails (found some similar bugs in bugzilla as well)

How can I do an emerge system, so that it would ignore updating gcc and glibc ?

Then dirty workaround is to emerge -p system, and then only emerge the packages you want...

Another would be to fix the compilation of the package (mine worked...).

Good fix:
/etc/make.profile/packages

Change *>=sys-devel/gcc-3.2 (or whatever you have) to

*<=sys-devel/gcc3.2 (I think..)

The easiest way would be to inject the Version of gcc he wants to install -- use
