If you have a stage3, there are ways to recover the compiler; the 
suggested approach is one.  (You are really doing enough of a reinstall so 
that you can quickpkg gcc, and for that, all you need is to be able to 
point quickpkg into your unpacked stage3.)

You should also be able to copy enough of gcc into your system to rebuild 
it (/usr/share/gcc*, /usr/lib/gcc*, the compiler itself, and 
/etc/env.d/05gcc), or perhaps bring in your stage3 version of 
/etc/env.d/05gcc, modify it to point into your unpacked stage3, env-update 
and go from there).

Good luck,
Ferris
