I just upgraded from gcc-4.4.3-r2 to gcc-4.4.4-r2 and I'm wondering if
I really need to rebuild everything as it says in the guide:

If not, when is it necessary?

I haven't seen any gurus recommend doing a emerge -e world in a while.
I think that is for major changes in gcc. The upgrade you have just
done seems to be a minor one.
Me, if I was concerned about it at all, I would just do a emerge -e
system. That way you know at least the packages needed for booting is
rebuilt. If I have doubt, that is what I do and it doesn't take to
long. If you have problems with your GUI or have problems with
programs, then you can do a emerge -e world then.
Also, if you are going to do this, there is a script that does it better
than portage. It emerges things in a different order so that it only
has to be done once instead of twice. I can find you a link to it if
you are interested. I used it a month or so ago and it worked fine.
It's been around for years.
