The problem is that world atoms are greedy with respect to slots, so if you have cross-avr/gcc in world then a global `emerge - --depclean` will not remove 4.2.2 after 4.2.3 has been installed. System atoms are not greedy for slots, so you can solve the problem like this: mkdir -p /etc/portage/profile echo *cross-avr/gcc /etc/portage/profile/packages echo *cross-avr/gcc:3.4 /etc/portage/profile/packages That pull the highest available overall and the highest available from the 3.4 SLOT into your system set (the packages file is documented in `man portage`). Remove the cross-avr/gcc atoms from /var/lib/portage/world since you won't need them anymore. Once you've done that, a global `emerge --depclean` should remove everything except the highest available overall version and the highest available from the 3.4 SLOT.
