On recent -CURRENT, to build world using the version of gcc in base, and
to not build or use the version of clang in base at all, you need at
least the following settings in your src.conf:

WITH_GCC=x                 # Enables building gcc for the final world
WITH_GCC_BOOTSTRAP=x       # Enables building gcc during cross-tools
WITH_GNUCXX=x              # Enables building libstdc++ and libsupc++
WITHOUT_CLANG_BOOTSTRAP=x  # Disables building clang during cross-tools
WITHOUT_CLANG=x            # Disables building clang for the final world
WITHOUT_CLANG_IS_CC=x      # Links gcc to /usr/bin/cc, /usr/bin/c++, etc.

Note that you can delete WITHOUT_CLANG from your make.conf, just like
other WITH_ and WITHOUT_ settings.  These only belong in src.conf.
