10 Yep, what to post is always tricky. I use gmane as a front end, so I'm
11 always forced to prune the postings and responses. Either way, remaining
12 calm does help find resolution, faster. I know, I sometimes get
13 hot blooded about big issues. On gentoo, I've just learned to keep
14 multiple (old) systems current, as they all get borked sooner or laters
15 (workstations with tons of codes). Servers are easy because, I do not
16 load up tons of codes (packages) on servers....

27 Right now, I'm using gcc-4.8.5 for stable gentoo sytems. If you
28 have updated recently, might want to update 'libtool' too as
29 well as glibc. Even if the version numbers current, rebuilding
30 sometimes helps.
31
32 I also go to the extra step of recompiling @system (--oneshot)
33 after gcc updates.
34
35 also, make sure you have run::
36
37 perl-cleaner --all
38 and python-updater
39
40 to ensure your system is clean.
