37 If you're transitioning over to the new profile, that means the
38 dependencies would be built and linked to the old profile's binaries.
39 This was merely a suggestion, as I've had some mighty strange things
40 happen after upgrades to gcc in the past, all solved by `emerge -e
41 world`, although... I didn't have packages fail back then.

43 When I switched over to the 17 profile I had one rebuild failure, and it
44 didn't have any direct dependencies fail.
