acroread doesn't depend on libstdc++-v3 and it doesn't run without it. Shouldn't it be added to it's RDEPEND? Same for mozilla-*-bin.
Hmm, how did you find out? I have acroread-7 on a couple of machines that have never seen libstdc++-v3 and same stands for mozilla-bin.
Post some real error messages and reopen then.

sys-lib/libstdc++-v3 was dropped from gcc's 3.4.4 DEPEND, thus it got unmerged on depclean on systems with 3.4.4 only. Maybe the bug should be assigned to gcc people?
According to your emerge info you have gcc-3.4.3.20050110 There is no way how you could have gcc-3.4.3.20050110-r2 without libstdc++-v3, unless you - unmerged libstdc++-v3 manually - or emerged gcc with --nodeps - or emerge gcc with USE="nocxx" which is bad idea(tm) - or have played with emerge depclean. $ grep -C1 PDEPEND gcc-3.4.3.20050110-r2.ebuild PDEPEND="sys-devel/gcc-config !nocxx? ( !mips? ( !ia64? ( !elibc_uclibc? ( !build? ( sys-libs/libstdc++-v3 ) ) ) ) )" Watch what are you doing with depclean next time and read the warning.

My only mistake was running 'emerge depclean' before the update, not after it. Anyway: libstdc++-v3 will be unmerged by depclean when 3.4.3 is unmerged and we're left only with 3.4.4. The main problem was stated in comment #6 - maybe the dep should be added back to 3.4.4 ?
OK, now it finally makes sense.
