Try to 'locate libstdc++.so.5' and see if it's still there (the locate 
DB could be outdated, so verify with ls). If so, do

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:<whereever libstdc++ is>"

and you should be able to use emerge (from the terminal(s) on which you 
executed the export command). Then I would suggest
reverting to a stable emerge ASAP...

If libstdc++.so.5 is indeed missing, gcc has to be reinstalled as Spider 
pointed out. Prepare for some work...

And, as a side note, never ever use an emerge -d without emerge -dp 
first (and putting all you can't afford to lose in /var/cache/edb/world)!
