Still no GCC5 in Gentoo [0], but I imagine they will have it soon after its final release.

Will Gentoo users require a massive recompile due to the ABI change?

Probably. See here [0] for more info. And Gentoo has some nice tools to help figure out what needs to be re-compiled.

Usually, my laptop can recompile @world (aka everything) overnight, so it's not too much of an issue.
