Good one, Jean-Marc!
I hope my experience is better than yours. I'm in the middle of this process
on a live system, been building since Monday (it's an old 600MHz box)
If you can read this email, my system is still running

That's what I'm doing now after more than one week of struggle ! ;-)

This coming from a person that has a lot of bad luck. I did the gcc
upgrade and it seemed to work fine here. I found a script on the forums
that seemed to work better than emerge -e world. I had a few packages
that failed due to my settings but they after getting the USE flags set
correctly, they worked fine. I have changed my profile to 2006.1 while
I was at it.
Maybe you have something complicated since you are running servers but
it seemed to work here. I was amazed that mine went so well.
