I must have hit the sweet spot. I installed (amd64) from the latest |
| 20 |
stage3 I could find a few weeks ago and never paid much attention to |
| 21 |
the gcc/glibc version. I'm on 3.4.6-r1, and I've never noticed any |
| 22 |
compile problems, but then I've not tried emerging empty world. My |
| 23 |
machine is too sodding fast to need that. |
