Well, "su interch" and "su - interch" should both be valid, and do one
little different thing; the inclusion of " - " creates a "login shell",
whereas su without it doesn't; and this is the same everywhere.

You both changed the order of parameters, and added " - ". I don't
believe anyone would break su in a way you describe; try playing around
some more to come to the *actual* source of problem.

A little hint, as root, try running:

  su -c id nobody

If it reports ID nobody, then nothing has changed in Gentoo version
of su.
