FWIW I've been using Libtool 2.2.6b since 091212
& GCC 4.3.4 since 091018 without any problems I can remember;
I kept GCC 4.1.2 installed as well & use 'quickpkg' to make back-ups.
You shouldn't need to rebuild anything else till it comes up naturally.
I never do 'emerge world' without '-Dup', but emerge pkgs individually.
