You aren't serious, are you? Did *you* read the fucking manual *and*
comprehend it? Methinks not...upgrading from 3.3 to 3.4 in a
pre-existing install != installing from a fresh stage. First, running
bootstrap.sh with the new gcc version unmasked would completely get rid
of the "-e system" part of that howto, since that would force your
toolchain to rebuild itself. Second, the -e world is to ensure that
your full install (which surely has plenty of c++ apps outside of
system) is linked against the libstdc++ of the new gcc.
Remember, in a pristine stage3, system == world. Therefore, your
"comparison" is really telling folks to emerge -e system twice in a row.
Doing bootstrap.sh followed by 'emerge -e system' from a stage3 is the
same thing as doing bootstrap.sh followed by 'emerge -e system' from a
stage1...sorry to burst your bubble. So again, idiocy and FUD.
