9 The majority of our servers are now running gcc-4.4.2-r2! And we've had no
10 trouble we can attribute to the compiler.
11 Our build machines did the whole emerge -e thing, but on the servers we just
12 installed gcc (emerge gcc -Nu1Kv), switched compiler, then updated world
13 (emerge world -DNuKv). They all had between 1/2 and 3/4 of their packages
14 updated, including all the important stuff (apache, php, rails, nginx, mysql,
15 postgres, etc).

17 I can now build modern Xen kernels too!
