You are not adding to this discussion. I take offense to you accusing me 
of being disingenuous as well.

*I am not counting gcc-aux as it is not comparable to the count from 
portage main gcc*. I am only counting the main official gcc ports.

Note gcc gnat is also an entirely separate thing.

I don't know what GCC-AUX is and it's still not part of the 34* count 
from portage there on gcc alone.

GCC-AUX: http://www.dragonlace.net/

That's not official GCC, it's a derivative. I commend and thank you for 
your work, but it's not part of my point.
