FWIW I've been using Libtool 2.2.6b since 091212 |
| 11 |
& GCC 4.3.4 since 091018 without any problems I can remember; |
| 12 |
I kept GCC 4.1.2 installed as well & use 'quickpkg' to make back-ups. |

You shouldn't need to rebuild anything else till it comes up naturally. |
| 14 |
I never do 'emerge world' without '-Dup', but emerge pkgs individually. |
