More like bash's dependence. Well, and in the case of glibc just |
| 9 |
about everything. When those break you're basically stuck recovering |
| 10 |
from a rescue disk. |

Fortunately we haven't had glibc/gcc break ABI in quite a while, and |
| 13 |
preserved-rebuild covers a lot of the other issues. |

In any case, if you have a solution other than statically building |
| 16 |
half the system I'm sure patches will be welcome. FWIW Gentoo is |
| 17 |
about as hassle-free to use as it has ever been. It isn't debian |
| 18 |
stable, and it is unlikely to ever be that way... |
