Couple of things here..

First, adding -Wa,-mev6 to CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS is definitely not needed
and I would expect it break a few things personally.

Second, I've been using gcc-4.1.1-r3 for months on EV68 system(s) with
no problem at all. I'm maintaining all the toolchain stuff on alpha as
so far testing and keywording goes and I do most of my work on a CS20
(dual ev68AL so fairly close to your DS25 regarding specs). I haven't
seen any gcc related problems personally.

So I expect your problems either stems from your CFLAGS or perhaps from
glibc that. Which version of glibc are you using and what USE flags are
enabled?

In fact I've seen that the final attempt of emerging the flag is kept
apart and gcc compiles.

mmm, glibc 2.3.5. About USE flags:

USE="-X -alsa threads mysql ldap"

Since you are here, do you have a .config file for gentoo-
sources-2.6.19-r5 that allows a stable kernel for a DS25? I can't
boot at all. Actually I'm still on 2.4.30 since I never was able to
compile a working kernel on this machine (whereas an ES40 I have here
runs on 2.6.xx).

cheers
