This was the starting point of my logic.
Glibc*is* the C lib, and shouldn't be able to depend on itself or on a
different version of itself. I'd be surprised if minor changes to glibc had a
significant impact on gcc output. Besides, I would expect glibc 2.x versions
to be API-compatible (completely or mostly).
Although not as eloquent, these were my thoughts.
If you are really concerned or find things you don't like, you'll certainly
rebuild from scratch anyway (a PITA, to be sure). A purist would give up and
start from scratch straight away.
Yeah, I'm ready to rebuild if I need to. I almost started again without
asking my question, but decided that would be too much like OCD. :) But
I will completely rebuild if I run into something I can't solve.
Thanks, Neal.
