Thanks anyway, Duncan, but I'm back to a stable 3.4.4 system now. I had to 
re-solve a problem with gnutls and I had to re-compile the kernel, but for 
the moment everything's looking solid. I probably ought to leave the GCC 
upgrade now until I come back from my honeymoon.

But 4.1.1 did exist as well - it must have to compile the kernel with 
modules that had 4.1.1-magic. I don't know why the emerge process couldn't 
find it, but I'm sure it was there, or had been at some stage. (After 
restoring my backup with its 3.4.4 kernel modules, the 4.1.1 kernel in 
my /boot partition couldn't load those modules at boot time, so I had to 
boot an older system and recompile the kernel with 3.4.4 GCC. Soon done, 
but it confirms the presence of gcc-4.1.1.)
