Thanks for your reply. If this is the reason of the differences, I'm afraid to consider that -uDU is not consistent fullly enough with binary pkgs which were already been installed. Since -uDU after -guDU will cause those building time dependencies be required again, and which seems unnessary. And if that's so, the upgrade way will be spilt up into two way, either upgrade with binary pkgs sustained and consistent, or only use irresistible binary such as gcc and dist-kernel-bin and even do not use binary for consistent if the hardware are good enough for building everything locally.
