51 I would make sure to run revdep-rebuild first to make sure nothing will
52 break. If something links to it or gcc fails afterwards, it is a mess
53 to fix.

55 Also run gcc-config -l and make sure which version you are using. It
56 should have a little * next to the one you are using.

58 May want to wait on a serious guru to make sure of all this too. This
59 can be one of those that you can't be to careful with.
