mkdir -p /tmp/overlay/sys-libs
cp -r /usr/portage/sys-libs/libstdc++-v3 /tmp/overlay/sys-libs

Edit the libstdc++-v3 ebuild to remove the package from a masked state.
I am going to assume that you're on x86, so change KEYWORDS from ~x86 to
x86.

catalyst -s 20050422 -C portdir_overlay=/tmp/overlay

You will now have a new portage snapshot created
in /var/tmp/catalyst/snapshots called portage-20050422.tar.bz2 that will
contain your current portage tree + this overlay.

Change your spec files to use snapshot: 20050422

Restart catalyst.
