No problem other than you might have a bunch of blockers to resolve and |
| 11 |
of course perl-cleaner to run. Just keep cycling through it till it |
| 12 |
completes; preserved-rebuild will keep your system intact. |

All regular Gentoo stuff, nothing to be concerned about. Besides, if it |
| 15 |
breaks you know what to do (and no-one can really tell you about |
| 16 |
breakage in advance) |

| 30 |
helper functions and in no way related at all to glibc (an entirely |
| 31 |
different kettle of fish) |

Run it in your test environment and satisfy yourself first |
