I've been following the thread re GCC 5.4.0 & after 'eix-sync' installed it. There's a news item warning that there's a new ABI & it mb necessary to run 'revdep-rebuild' if it fails with a linking error.
The first pkg I tried to compile with 5.4.0 indeed failed at that point, so I followed the advice & ran 'revdep-rebuild --library 'llibstdc++.so.6' -- --exclude gcc'. It wanted to rebuild 223 pkgs & stalled with an unfound ebuild. I went back to GCC 4.9.3 & the pkg merged without any problem. What are other users' experiences using GCC 5.4.0 ? -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
