Hi, Looking at the gcc update instructions I wondered if the last emerge -eav world step is actually necessary for correct system operation?
# emerge -uav gcc # gcc-config i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.1 # source /etc/profile # fix_libtool_files.sh 3.4.6 # emerge --oneshot -av libtool # emerge -eav system # emerge -eav world I'm satisfied if the system gets rebuilt over the next few weeks with normal updates. However that would leave some apps and other things built on the old compiler. This method would have everything built with the new one, but is it necessary for correct/stable operation? Also, for completeness in these instructions, if I'm rebuilding all applications with the new compiler then why am I also not rebuilding the kernel with the new compiler? Currently I'm about 1/4 done with the emerge -eav system step... Thanks, Mark -- [email protected] mailing list
