No, that's a very bad idea. It should not be necessary to rebuild the whole system with the new compiler, but you should at least follow the revdep-rebuild path of upgrading the compiler. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gcc-upgrading.xml#upgrade-3.3-to-3.4 The problem is the libstdc++ library. If you don't at least do the revdep-rebuild, you could end up with some things that are linked against both libstdc++.so.6 and libstdc++.so.5, and they will crash miserably. -Richard -- [email protected] mailing list
