Have you ever made that switch before?

It's not worth trying, far easier to re-install and retain your data. Someone 
here tried it a few months back and did succeed, but the cost!

Find first blocker, follow it down the rabbit hole, resolve all nodes on the 
gigantic tree you just built, emerge. Rinse and repeat with next visible 
blocker. Do this many times.

At least glibc issue won't be as big a factor as it was for that fellow. IIRC 
he had to go from 2.10 to 2.7, today it's only 2.13 back to 2.12
