Earlier, I successfully installed Skype via portage (net-im/skype), but
upon attempting to run it get the following text:

Running artsd found
Starting artsd wrapped skype
==========================================
Running wrapped Skype failed, trying not-wrapped mode...
==========================================

Upon further investigation, I narrowed the problem down to an error with
my installation of libstdc++:

$ artsdsp -v --mmap /opt/skype/skype.bin
artsdsp:       1.5.2
name:
command line:  /opt/skype/skype.bin
threaded:      yes
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/kde/3.5/lib/libartsdsp.so.0' from LD_PRELOAD
cannot be preloaded: ignored.
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/kde/3.5/lib/libartsc.so.0' from LD_PRELOAD
cannot be preloaded: ignored.
/opt/skype/skype.bin: error while loading shared libraries:
libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I then ran revdep-rebuild to try and fix the problem, and it said that
that libstdc++.so.5 was broken, and that it would fix it. After
revdep-rebuild ran, I went back to run Skype again and got the same
error. Running revdep-rebuild a second time resulted in the exact same
output. Any ideas? Thanks.
