I have a BLFS system for some time. I started whith LFS-6.2 and BLFS-svn 
  before the 6.2 version was relesed.

Now I am going to install ATLAS, GLS, Octave and while reading some 
documents I found:
"... gcc4.2 is what the architectural defaults are built for, and 
previous versions are likely to hurt your performance ..."
I have gcc-4.0.3 and without fortran. So I will have to install fortran 
for gcc-4.0.3 or upgrade full compiler to gcc-4.2.2.

But I am not aware of consequences which I may be facing after the upgrade.

Can you also comment the idea of upgradeing other parts of the system, 
not only gcc? I would prefere to upgrade rather than start everything 
from the very beginning...

Regards,
       juras
