My personal advice & experience: |
| 13 |
* install the new gcc-5.4 |
| 14 |
* switch to it |
| 15 |
* run the revdep-rebuild command from the news item (see above) |
| 16 |
... and everything should be fine. |

To be absolutely sure I've run an "emerge -eav world" on most machines |
| 19 |
sometime afterwards, but that shouldnt be strictly necessary. (It helps though |
| 20 |
if the revdep-rebuild command doesnt finish for some reasons.) |

Somehow the 5.4 stabilization got stuck and/or forgotten, it's been overdue |
| 23 |
for a while now. Many devs (including me) use 6.3 on their main machine |
| 24 |
already, without any too big problems. gcc-6 is already used by the big binary |
| 25 |
distros. (-> Expect 6.3 to get keywords sometime soon.) |
