I suspect it shouldn't be difficult IF you have access to a binary |
| 7 |
package respository for the system set. Then you can do an emerge -K |
| 8 |
system and get all your core packages updated. |

In theory you should be able to install a gentoo stage3 in a chroot |
| 11 |
and do a quickpkg @system to generate such a repository. |

I'm open to comments as to why this wouldn't work, but it would seem |
| 14 |
to be the easiest solution to me. |

Of course, this won't get you whatever CFLAGS/USE settings you prefer |
| 17 |
- but once you have a working updated system set you could always do |
| 18 |
an emerge -e system to rebuild them with your own settings. |
