That is not always true. A glibc upgrade *can* require that *some* packages are re-built. I am not an expert on Elf so this may not be 100% correct. The problem can come from symbol versioning, where the package is linked against static linked library. If this static library contains references to symbols in glibc for which the glibc upgrade has provided a new version, then sometimes both the static library and applications linking against it need to be rebuilt. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
