Well, with my just completed stage 1, I can tell you that there is absolutely 
no binary on the system that actually links to libstdc++. As such the result 
of using revdep-rebuild is absolutely zip. This means you can actually skip 
that whole step. Be aware though that this is with the current x86-2005.1-r1 
stage1 and x86-2005.1 profile, and may or may not be true in the future.

As such you can just run 
# emerge --oneshot sys-libs/libstdc++-v3
# emerge -aC =sys-devel/gcc-3.3*
as suggested. You could even leave out the first step as it's not absolutely 
essential. It's more of a know what you're doing thing though.
