Upgrading gcc hasn't been painful for some years. I think 3.3 to 3.4 was the last one with an ABI change that needed a world rebuild for consistency. Since then, upgrading GCC has been no more troublesome than upgrading sys-apps/helloworld. -- Neil Bothwick "Most problems go away if you just wait long enough.
