17 Thanks for the info Farhan. I'm in the process of completeing the upgrade. So
18 far, everything has been perfectly ok. It's all compiling cleanly, no errors
19 and there's even a slight performance increase. I haven't done and real, hard
20 performance evaluation... but my glxgears number has jumped from 800 fps to
21 just over 1200 fps... and that was only after competing a "emerge -e system"
22 with the new glibc and gcc. I can;t wait to see what it looks like after a
23 complete system recompile...
24
25 I'll be back after a day or so to report.

27 Cheers.
