Howdy,
I been noticing something weird when I upgrade gcc. Is this normal?

I'm not worried about curl. It just happened to be there. This is the
list of packages it is supposed to update:
root@fireball / # emerge -uvaDN world
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No] y
I noticed this one or twice before. It is compiling the same compiler
version twice when it should be upgrading/recompiling two *different*
versions. I read before that gcc compiles three times or something but
the thing is, it can compile for HOURS and never finish. Usually I stop
it and restart emerge and it compiles as it should, one for each version
and finishes as it should time wise. I once started the upgrade and
went to take a nap. I woke up around 5 or 6 hours later to find gcc
compiling twice on the same version. Even libreoffice only takes a hour
or so.
Anyone else see this before? Now to go stop this one and get it to
update right and not take all week.
Thanks.
Dale
