The guide that I followed is: |

Under section 3 Upgrading from GCC-3.3 to 3.4 or greater |

|
9 |
The instructions specify to use Revdep-rebuild -- and I quote |

|

If you upgrade from gcc 3.3 to 3.4, you have two possibilities on how to upgrade your system. The first method is faster and requires use of the revdep-rebuild tool from package gentoolkit while the second one rebuilds the entire system from scratch so it will make use of new GCC features. It's up to you to decide which of these two ways you will choose. In most cases, the first method is sufficient. |

This particular rebuild was going from 3.3 to 4.0 so revdep-rebuild was indicated - |

I did that rebuild some time back and don't remember what was the problem other than that I want to avoid it again. |
