_underline_ *bold* usualy workes fine :)

But still atleast I interpret that as "should work without, but better safe 
then sorry".

But then later in the same doc it says:
"If you upgrade from gcc 3.3 to 4.1, do not use the method based on 
revdep-rebuild, but do a complete system rebuild."
so the answer to your question would be either stay with 3.3.6 and rebuild 
those packages that you emerged with 4.1.1 or upgrade to 4.1.1 and rebuild 
system + world (ccache is highly recomended).
