Looking in: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gcc-upgrading.xml Code Listing
2.2 I have to do emerge -eav system and emerge -eav world. Isn't that
rebuilding the entire system?

First. please don't use html and top posting.
Sorry about that. The recipient [email protected] is set in my address book to "plain text" but thunderbird seems to ignore it.

Second, as stated just above that passage, it is not nessecary but recommended.
Here is a quotation from the doc:

To be completely safe that your system is in a sane state, you must rebuild the toolchain and then world to make use of the new compiler.

(Now how do I make the word MUST above underlined and bold?) ;-)


You must however follow listing 2.1 and I would recomend keeping the old gcc installed untill all packages have been upgraded/reemerged just in case.
