6 emerge -e world if cflags got changed
7 emerge --newuse world if useflags got changed.

9 But there is no reason to recompile the whole system because of some changed
10 cflags. After some updates everything got recompiled anyway ;)

15 no, after a normal -uD world you don't have to do anything. Maybe
16 revdep-rebuild if something does not work anymore. But nothing else is
17 needed.

19 After a gcc-update.. well, it depends.
20
21 from gcc 3.4.x to 3.4.x+1 nothing needs to recompile. Everything is fine.
22 from gcc 3.x to 4.x emerge -e system, emerge -e world is more or less a must.

24 Please read the gcc-upgrade guide on the gentoo homepage.
