Problems with mysql in Gentoo 1.4

I've upgraded gentoo from 1.2 to 1.4. Now I have some problems recompiling mysql. This is the output of "emerge mysql".

.......
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lstdc++
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [mysqladmin] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/mysql-3.23.52/work/mysql-3.23.52/client'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/mysql-3.23.52/work/mysql-3.23.52'
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2
.......

It seems to fail because cannot find "lstdc++". ¿Whats wrong?. ¿In wich e-build is lstdc++?. ¿How can I search for it?

Thanks.

What method did you use to do your upgrade? It sounds like you have some mixed-up C++ libraries in your compilation environment, and the problem is likely not localized to MySQL. Moving from Installing to OTG, by the way, because it's past the scope of an initial installation.

I've used the 4 scripts of the Guide. It seemed all was ok. ¿?.

At the end of te 4th script appeared a message saying mysql couldn't be compiled.

Can I fix it?

I upgraded differently (for these purposes it should probably be considered a clean install), so let's see how our compilation environments differ. Can you repeat the following commands and compare the output?

It sounds so bad -->

gentoo # pushd /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2/
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2 ~/gentoo
gentoo # ls -al libstdc++*
ls: libstdc++*: No such file or directory

Can you try "emerge gcc" and see if that fixes things? See this thread for some background and more details.

EDIT: completely replaced my hurried original post that got IRQed by an urgent work issue

I've tried again "emerge gcc". The result is the same:

Exact same place, eh? Well, that makes hardware pretty unlikely, but I can't tell if that's really a good or a bad thing. Do you have a binary backup package of gcc and binutils that you can reinstall to get your toolchain into a known good state? You may have to do a substantial part of the upgrade process over. If you have a free disk partition, you might want to consider this upgrade procedure as an alternative to the in-place method you were using, if that seems like it might be more fun than what you're doing now. Sorry you're experiencing so much downtime.

Maybe a 1.x -> 1.4 upgrade fairy more knowledgeable than I about the process will come along and sprinkle magic dust on this thread, solving your problem with one easy step.

if I used script1 I have a backup no?. how can I recover from this backup?.

When I had restored the bins from this backup can I restart the upgrade with the scripts again?

Thanks.
