Honestly, I cannot give you a satisfying explanation, but |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
a) I came across this: |
| 13 |
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-570319-start-0.html |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
b) I was told the same years ago and never had issues. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
c) until you re-emerge glibc nothing changes anyway. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
d) your current glibc won't use new features, anyway (I guess) |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
e) and even then, forward/backward compatibility in kernel headers and |
| 22 |
glibc are very good. |
