gcc-4.1.1, libstdc++.la and KDE - mental meltdown! [SOLVED]

I have been recompiling for five days now and no end is in sight. The plan was to migrate from gcc-3.3.6 to gcc-4.1.1, to which end I read the upgrade HOWTO and numerous threads, acquired emwrap, and then set to. The "emerge -e system" went well, I did the other stuff and then "emerge -e world". This always fails in kdelibs with libtool not finding "/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/libstdc++.la", which is fair enough because it is not there, by design it seems.

I have tried the fix_libtools_files.sh routine but this does nothing. So I guess I have the following questions:

I am building on a laptop that is not required for anything at the moment, otherwise, believe me, the partition would have been scratched and the old system restored days ago.

TIA

Could you post your exact error message. Generally there is a problematic reference in another la-file, finding the package to which this second la-file belongs and rebuilding it should resolve the problem.

Can't see any other .la library. Something to do with aspell?

look if there is reference to libstdc++.la in /usr/lib/libaspell.la (normally these should be fixed from fix_libtool_files.sh, have you tried to pass as argument your former gcc-version to it?).

libaspell.la does contain a reference to 4.1.1, so we are on the right track. There is a copy of libstdc++.la in ~/gcc/~/3.4.6 but running "fix_libtools_files.sh 3.4.6" does nothing and this is the problem! Note I started with gcc-3.3.6 but this got upgraded to 3.4.6 during the process.

now this is a little bit risky, so backup the aspell la-file somewhere and try one of the following remove from it altogether the reference to libstdc++.la and try again, if this does not help change the whole /usr//xxx/libstdc++.la to be just -lstdc++ and try again and report back

Removing the reference allowed the compile to continue to completion. Does mean I need a script to remove a string from every file in a directory?

most probably

well essentially this should be resolved from fix_libtool_archives.sh but it seems it does not work.
try some sed script should not be that hard to write
