Changing to multilib (catalyst problems) [SOLVED]

I'm running Arch 64 on my desktop, and I read that to upgrade to multilib all I needed to do was add [multilib] to pacman.conf and then run pacman -Syu.  But when I run that it fails because "lib32-libstdc++5: requires lib32-gcc", and I need lib32-libstdc++5 because lib32-catalyst-utils depends on it.

So then I tried rebuilding the catalyst package and modifying the dependencies, but it ended up with a vicious catch-22: can't build the new catalyst package without gcc-multilib, and can't install gcc-multilib without replacing lib32-gcc which I can't do because catalyst depends on it.  Is there a way around this?  Should I be changing the catalyst package or the libstdc++5 package?

Your lib32-libstdc++5 package is out of date. Rebuild the latest version from aur.

(sadly ngoonee seem to have forgotten to bump the $pkgrel when he updated the PKGBUILD, so aur helpers might not catch the update)
