I believe libstdc++ was rebuilt as part of the new system build (I deleted 
destdir.i386 and objdir before starting):

$ ls -l /usr/lib/libstdc++*
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  1742374 Mar 26 15:56 /usr/lib/libstdc++.a
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel       16 Mar 26 15:56 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so -> 
libstdc++.so.6.0
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel       16 Sep  3  2003 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.4 -> 
libstdc++.so.4.0
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel   378691 Aug 15  2003 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.4.0
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel       16 Apr 25  2006 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 -> 
libstdc++.so.5.0
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel   915449 Apr 25  2006 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel       16 Mar 26 15:56 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 -> 
libstdc++.so.6.0
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  1095250 Mar 26 15:56 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  1806178 Mar 26 15:56 /usr/lib/libstdc++_p.a
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  1826484 Mar 26 15:56 /usr/lib/libstdc++_pic.a

Perhaps everything that uses libstdc++ needs to be rebuilt?

Thanks,
