installed gcc 4.1.1, now 3.4.6 isnt happy..

For a project I am working on, I needed to install a copy of gcc 4.1.1, to make sure the code would compile with it. So I emerged it, and thought I could just use gcc-config to switch to the older compiler. The problem is, a few libraries which I compiled with 3.4.6 after installing 4.1.1 dont work. I get this out to the terminal:

Just a guess out of the dark, maybe try

I dont intend to use 4.1.1 as the system compiler. I only wanted to use it to develop on this program. I've also noticed after using gcc-config and starting a new shell, the system compiler is still set as 4.1.1. But I dont want the system to use that. Also, there are libraries in /opt/ that I can rebuild manually, but arent managed by emerge. Its those libraries I am currently having problems with, even after rebuilding them, it doesnt work. What to do...

-- edit --
Well, I couldnt make it work, so I just emerge -C 'd 4.1.1. I didnt compile any packages with it, only the software Im working on. Just to be sure I recompiled libtool and libstdc++-v3, and my software, and everything seems to be working again.
