No, that should just work. |

I think upgrading GCC first is better as that is what the dependencies |

suggest (unless I'm still asleep and mixing up things again ;-) ) |

Depends - I'd expect glibc to not compile or just work, broken installed |
| 15 |
glibc is rather unlikely. |

I have just done the same upgrade, even emerge -e world is running well |

If it really is a production server that can't have downtime you should |

test all updates on a second machine that has the exact same software |
| 21 |
configuration, that way only your test box dies if anything ever goes |
| 22 |
wrong. |

Good luck, |
