I think upgrading GCC first is better as that is what the dependencies suggest (unless I'm still asleep and mixing up things again ;-) ) > If something goes wrong, quickpkg & emerge of gcc and glibc would help? 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.
