During "emerge libsdl" I get:

------------------
/src/thread -I../../../src/timer -I../../../src/endian -I../../../src/file -I..
/../../src/thread -o libvideo_directfb.la SDL_DirectFB_events.lo SDL_Direct
FB_video.lo SDL_DirectFB_yuv.lo -ldirectfb -lpthread -ldl -lpthread
grep: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.4/libstdc++.la: No such file or di
rectory
/bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.4/libstdc++.la: No
such file or directory
libtool: link: `/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.4/libstdc++.la' is not a
valid libtool archive
make[3]: *** [libvideo_directfb.la] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/libsdl-1.2.8-r1/work/SDL-1.2.8/src
/video/directfb'
------------------

I recently emerged gcc and libstdc++.la can now be found in
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.5-20050130. In reading up on it I've
tried running the following comands, to no avail:

emerge sys-libs/lib-compat
ldconfig
gcc-config -l

Any more ideas?

This is a FAQ. Or rather was, when the new gcc version came out
sometime in January ... (subtle hint)

> emerge sys-libs/lib-compat

That's for legacy stuff. Only usually only required for binary-only
stuff that's linked to older libraries.

Yep. Run '/sbin/fix_libtool_files.sh 3.3.4' and try the emerge again.
There was a bug with a particular version of gcc. This should do the
trick.
