10 Should probably instruct users to upgrade all packages first because it
11 can be, as I’ve experienced, nearly impossible to upgrade GCC if the
12 world isn’t up to the latest stable.

23 Some of these can take a while. Maybe we want to spell it out:
24
25 for p in sys-devel/gcc:6.4.0 sys-devel/binutils sys-libs/glibc; do
26 emerge -1 $p || break
27 done
