Hmmm....I suspect you might be able to find the package on
the install CD.
And you probably have a working gcc on the install CD. You
might try
--usepkg.

I'm just guessing. Other minds will surely have better
ideas.

While the minimal and universal CDs *may( have a gutted gcc
with minimal 
functionality, there is no /var/db/pkg, so you can't really
use portage with it.

You have 2 options for recovering from this: 1) find someone
who has a recent 
gcc built with the same USE that you had and similar CFLAGS,
or 2) reinstall.
