Howto: x11-drivers/ati-drivers without gcc3

I figured out how to get the ati drivers to work on my new laptop without having to compile gcc-3. It are basicly a few easy steps:
- libstdc++.so.5:
- Google for libstdc++.so.5, you will find it. Well actually you find an rpm containing libstdc++.so.5.0.5
- Copy libstdc++.so.5.0.5 to /usr/lib
- Symlink /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.5 to /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5
- Portage Overlay:
- Copy x11-drivers/ati-drivers to you overlay
- Open the ebuild of choise ( ati-drivers-[version].ebuild )
- Remove the dependancy on virutial/libstdc++
- run: ebuild ati-drivers-[version].ebuild digest
- run: emerge =x11-drivers/ati-drivers-[version]
This should go well. at least it did here.
And enjoy your ati video card with ati-drivers without gcc-3. Now you can configure your card further.
