Hey, all. I've got two working gentoo systems built from the 2004.02 live cd. Following the instructions in the handbook, the systems were constructed with gcc 3.3.4 as the base.
The 3.4.x chain of gcc is out there in portage, and I am now curious as to whether to upgrade gcc and what steps to take to complete it... For the most part I'm guessing it would be a matter of: 1. Use emerge to update gcc to a 3.4 version. 2. Use gcc-config to target the new version as the default. 3. Use emerge to update glibc and binutils. 4. Use emerge to rebuild the world. I remember from the handbook I had to create a new link for /etc/make.profile; do I need to do that again for a 3.4 chain, and what one would I use? Are there valid reasons to or not to do this upgrade? Thanks in advance! Dave -- [email protected] mailing list
