This is so wrong, I don't know where to begin.  For one, it's a FACT that 
compiling a kernel takes roughly 3x longer than it did with 2.95.x.  Not only 
does it take longer, but the end kernel comes out about 200KB larger.  
Also...

[18:42:39] <avenj> drobbins: did you intend to mark gcc-3.3 ~x86 and unmask 
it?
[18:42:48] <avenj> the tree is definitely not very gcc-3.3 ready

That was yesterday.  No offense, but I am going to go what with avenj, a 
highly respected and veteran Gentoo dev, over what two ML posters say.

You guys can risk your systems however you would like, but I won't take my 
chances.  Not to mention that if you upgrade glibc (and gcc AFAIK), you CAN 
NOT downgrade.
