The difference is between 4.3.4 and 4.4.3, not 4.3.3 |

Gentoo has the new GCC slotted and the handbook |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gcc-upgrading.xml |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Suggests emerge -e system and emerge -e world in the "General Upgrade |
| 34 |
Instructions. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
If you think the handbook is wrong or my interpretation of it wrong |
| 37 |
then *please* tell me. I would prefer *not* to go through this nightmare |
| 38 |
whenever GCC does a major version bump. |
