libstdc++-v3 emerge fails

[syrex314]

On a G3, I went to emerge libstdc++-v3-3.3.4, and it fails every time:

Just a shot in the dark here, but are you trying to emerge it to fix compilation bugs relating to libtool?

If so you want to run the fix_libtool_file.sh script like so

fix_libtool_files 3.3.4

where 3.3.4 is your old gcc version

No, I'm re-emerging everything (emerge -e world) because I wanted to change some CFLAGS (went from -O2 to -O3 and added -mpowerpc-gfxopt) and have those changes affect my whole system.

I tried putting =sys-lib/libstdc++-v3-3.3.4 in /etc/portage/package.mask to try to get emerge to pick an older version (3.3.3-r1) in hopes that would work, but placing that line in my package.mask does not seem to make a difference, and emerge -e world still tries 3.3.4.

...turns out I should have had sys-libs in my package.mask instead of sys-lib... we'll see if 3.3.3-r1 works.
