what is the alternative suggestion for paludis ?

wrt clang, i thought we were using gcc's libstdc++ and not the libc++ project.
if people are using libc++ & clang, then this news entry does not change ...
you'd still need to rebuild anything using libstdc++.  that said, i'm not sure
libc++ & clang builds are common enough to warrant mentioning here.
