No, that should just work.

I think upgrading GCC first is better as that is what the dependencies
suggest (unless I'm still asleep and mixing up things again ;-) )

Depends - I'd expect glibc to not compile or just work, broken installed
glibc is rather unlikely.
I have just done the same upgrade, even emerge -e world is running well
(and almost finished)

If it really is a production server that can't have downtime you should
test all updates on a second machine that has the exact same software
configuration, that way only your test box dies if anything ever goes
wrong.

Good luck,

Patrick
