Use fix_libtool_files.sh.  Running it without arguments gives you
usage.

Try providing the correct names via symlinks.

 Hi,

 Just a stupid question : What is bootstrap.sh used for ?
This is the script used to bootstrap your system.  Usually this is only used 
if installing from stage1.

  Naturally none of the tools was able to find the new gcc -- or
  using the old one instead.
 
  The situation now is:
  To upgrade to the new gcc-4.1 I  Co. have to change CHOST in
  beforehand.  After changing CHOST no compiler will be found and I
  will no longer be able to upgrade to gcc-4.1  Co.
 
  Recursive doom ?

I have no guarantee that this will work, but try the following:

0. Make sure backup is up to date
1. Change CHOST in /etc/make.conf
2. cd /usr/portage/scripts
3. ./bootstrap.sh
4. emerge -e system
5. emerge -e world
