I'm on 6.3.0 on x86, which is currently unstable on *ALL* arches, and |
| 15 |
"emerge -pv =sys-devel/gcc-6.3.0" shows "(-pie)". Two questions... |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
1) Will 6.3.0 be skipped for stabilization? |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
2) If someone decides to override and set "-pie" in USE, will their |
| 20 |
current systems continue to function? On a new install I'll go with |
| 21 |
the default, but "emerge -e" takes a long time on my current machine. |
| 22 |
It's an ancient 2008 CORE2 with 3 gigs of ram, but it works fine for |
| 23 |
me, including Youtube 1080P streaming. |
