GCC was updated to 4.8.1 in the last day or so, that may be what you're seeing 
(since it only started from there). To avoid rebuilding, "touch 
usr/installed/gcc" or "touch usr/installed/*" if you know you really don't want 
to rebuild. I'd recommend starting with a "make clean", however, as Qt and Qt5 
were also updated and gcc is quick compared to those.

Mingw-w64 support was also just added a few hours ago with updates to gcc for 
the new targets. To avoid rebuilds in the new multi-target scenario "touch 
usr/*/installed/gcc".

Cheers,
