This is the list available:
gcc-4.5.2 works just fine here glibc-2.13-r3 no problems And you are not stuck once upgrading glibc. If stuff doesn't run, edit the magnificent version check in the ebuild and re-emerge it. It only causes problems if other stuff gets built against a newer glibc and you then want to downgrade > > root@fireball / # equery list -p glibc > * Searching for glibc ... > [-P-] [ ~] sys-libs/glibc-2.9_p20081201-r3:2.2 > [-P-] [ ] sys-libs/glibc-2.10.1-r1:2.2 > [-P-] [ ] sys-libs/glibc-2.11.3:2.2 > [-P-] [ ~] sys-libs/glibc-2.12.1-r3:2.2 > [IP-] [ ] sys-libs/glibc-2.12.2:2.2 > [-P-] [ ~] sys-libs/glibc-2.13-r2:2.2 > [-P-] [ ~] sys-libs/glibc-2.13-r3:2.2 > [-P-] [ -] sys-libs/glibc-2.14:2.2 > root@fireball / # equery list -p gcc > * Searching for gcc ... > [-P-] [ -] sys-devel/gcc-2.95.3-r9:2.95 > [-P-] [ -] sys-devel/gcc-2.95.3-r10:2.95 > [-P-] [ -] sys-devel/gcc-3.1.1-r2:3.1 > [-P-] [ -] sys-devel/gcc-3.2.2:3.2 > [-P-] [ -] sys-devel/gcc-3.2.3-r4:3.2 > [-P-] [ ~] sys-devel/gcc-3.3.6-r1:3.3 > [-P-] [ ] sys-devel/gcc-3.4.6-r2:3.4 > [-P-] [ -] sys-devel/gcc-4.0.4:4.0 > [-P-] [ ] sys-devel/gcc-4.1.2:4.1 > [-P-] [ ~] sys-devel/gcc-4.2.4-r1:4.2 > [-P-] [ ~] sys-devel/gcc-4.3.3-r2:4.3 > [-P-] [ ] sys-devel/gcc-4.3.4:4.3 > [-P-] [ ~] sys-devel/gcc-4.3.5:4.3 > [-P-] [ ~] sys-devel/gcc-4.3.6:4.3 > [-P-] [ ~] sys-devel/gcc-4.4.2:4.4 > [-P-] [ ~] sys-devel/gcc-4.4.3-r3:4.4 > [-P-] [ ] sys-devel/gcc-4.4.4-r2:4.4 > [IP-] [ ] sys-devel/gcc-4.4.5:4.4 > [-P-] [ ~] sys-devel/gcc-4.5.1-r1:4.5 > [-P-] [ ~] sys-devel/gcc-4.5.2:4.5 > [-P-] [M-] sys-devel/gcc-4.6.0:4.6 > [-P-] [M-] sys-devel/gcc-4.6.1:4.6 > root@fireball / # > > I was thinking of running a older version of gcc first.
