You have two options:
1. Upgrade GCC to 3.4 -- it was marked stable in portage a week ago
2. Alter the sources following the instructions found here: 
http://www.mail-archive.com/address@hidden/msg08427.html

Warning: upgrading to GCC 3.4 will probably take 3 days of compiling 
because the ABI for the C++ standard library has changed.  You can find 
detailed instructions here:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gcc-upgrading.xml
You will wind up recompiling all of your base system and quite a few 
other apps (including KDE and Lilypond).
