Do you already have sys-libs/libstdc++ installed? If you had, you
wouldn't need GCC 3.3. In fact, I have a feeling the packages are mutually
exclusive as both provide libstdc++. Just remove your overlayed version,
remove any installed versions of gcc-3.3* and update world again.

It won't. unmerging doesn't use the ebuild in the portage tree but the
one saved in /var/db/pkg when the package was merged.
