As "system" is part of "world", an "emerge -e world" would recompile |
| 20 |
every single package, along with all dependencies, a full system |
| 21 |
recompile, if you, for instance, change your CFLAGs to a generic one |
| 22 |
before it, at the end your system would be prepared to be used with a |
| 23 |
different processor. |
