[gentoo-user] unexpected problems when switching c compilers

[John Covici]

Hi.  I finally decided to switch the c compiler from 4.9.3 to 5.3.0
and ran into some strange problems.  Although the kernel compiled
successfully, several packages in my last update of world got
undefined references, one of which was mktoolnix and also mpv.  Now I
did solve them by re-emerging the packages containing the references
and that fix things, although I had to do it in stages, getting past
one and finding another one.

So, my question is, is there away to fix this throuought /usr/lib
without having to re-emerge world or something, or do I just wait and
take them one at a time during future updates?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
