15 First post on this list... just a lowly user... tell me to keep my nose out if
16 necessary! ;-)

18 I recently updated to gcc 3.3 and was having a hard time as portage kept on
19 wanting to downgrade it. Turned out that glibc-2.3.2-r1 wanted a lower
20 version and I had to unmask glibc-2.3.2-r3 to keep gcc as it was. Point is
21 glibc-2.3.2-r1 contains nothing gcc-related in RDEPEND and only the following
22 in DEPEND:
23
24 =sys-devel/gcc-3.2*
25
26 Also using portage-2.0.48-r5. Makes me think it's something else causing it to
27 not take notice of the dep.
