1 When building GCC, it will scan all headers in /usr/include and apply
2 fixes to them, and then copy them and use the modified versions. Now a
3 binary distro (AFAIK) will ship the GCC modified headers, so there's no
4 problem.

6 Gentoo on the other hand will work as intended by GCC only if the user
7 re-emerges GCC after every time a package is emerged that installs
8 headers. Obviously, no user does that.

10 So the question is simple; does Gentoo deal with this problem in any way?
