Oh yes, there are times when a reboot is the simplest option, it makes sure everything is back as baseline. I have no problem with rebooting, just wouldn't recommend the worldwide recompile that leads to the need to do so - unless it is necessary, which is clearly is not in the case of the GCC 4.7 -> 4.8 switch.
