Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Quite late :), I'm going to do my homework, that is the loooong upgrade |
| 4 |
to gcc 3.4.x --> 4.1.x |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
The subject has been widely discussed, so I've just a couple of |
| 7 |
questions to be super-safe: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
- I'm going to follow [1] (of course) and [2] (looks nice). Other useful |
| 10 |
guides? |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
- Is there a new incompatible GCC upgrade going to be unmasked? I see |
| 13 |
4.2 and 4.3 are hard masked, but if there is the suspicion they're going |
| 14 |
to be used relatively soon AND they are not binary compatible with 4.1, |
| 15 |
I may wait for those. When I did 3.3-->3.4, I waited long, and 4.1 |
| 16 |
became stable after a week... :/ |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
- Is it mandatory/highly advisable to recompile also the kernel, or can |
| 19 |
I postpone? In the first case, when it's better to recompile it (before |
| 20 |
all/after all)? |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
- Do I have to emerge glibc 2.4 first and gcc later, or I can have glibc |
| 23 |
emerged in the emerge -e system? |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
- Any other glitch/tarpit I must be aware of? |
| 26 |
