43 Hi Ian,
44
45 Hope this helps;
46
47 This is how you start the upgrade process;
48 https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Upgrading_GCC
49
50 https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Upgrading_from_gcc-4.x_to_gcc-5.x
51
52
53 This is how you finish;
54 https://www.gentoo.org/support/news-items/2015-10-22-gcc-5-new-c++11-abi.html
55
56 As you will notice the revdep-rebuild line is different for gcc 5 then
57 for gcc 4 in the first wiki piece.
58
59 # revdep-rebuild --library 'libstdc++.so.6' -- --exclude gcc
