7 No, that's a very bad idea. It should not be necessary to rebuild the
8 whole system with the new compiler, but you should at least follow the
9 revdep-rebuild path of upgrading the compiler.

13 The problem is the libstdc++ library. If you don't at least do the
14 revdep-rebuild, you could end up with some things that are linked
15 against both libstdc++.so.6 and libstdc++.so.5, and they will crash
16 miserably.
