Partially answering this myself: you must be using gcc-config-1.8-r1, and have
none of the other still affected packages installed (e.g., java, hence no
java-config-wrapper).

Following bug #549508, I could put java-config-wrapper in package.provided and
unmask gcc-config-1.8-r1.  Then I should be able to put openrc in
package.provided and finally depclean it.  This should work as a temporary
solution until bugs #504116 and #511500 are resolved.

Does that sound sane?

The only two scary looking bugs I found on gcc-config are 547586 and 547962.
Bug #547586 is apparently completely benign (whitespace differences in "make
check" output), whereas bug #547962 caused gcc-config-1.8-r1 to be hard masked.
However, the underlying bug in gentoo-functions has apparently been fixed [0]
(according to its ChangeLog this was done in version 0.8, which is arch), so it
seems to me that the hard mask can be lifted.
