13 In case this is not clear--
14
15 --the idea is that you need a compiler to compile the new version of
16 GCC. (It's obvious when you think about it.) Thus you need gcc-3.3.6 to
17 compile gcc-3.4.4.
18
19 What you then have to do is change your 'standard' gcc to 3.4.4, if it
20 is not changed already, using gcc-config.
21
22 Then you have to compiled gcc-3.4.4 again, and now you will be using
23 gcc-3.4.4 to compile gcc-3.4.4. Then you have to clean the rest of the
24 toolchain (which was also compiled using gcc-3.3.6), by compiling that
25 using gcc-3.4.4. Then you should be more-or-less safe to remove gcc-3.3.6.
26
27 I've done this myself; it's like 2.5 emerge-e worlds, but there are
28 several scripts posted on the forums to automate this as much as is
29 possible.
