As far as I read the post from Tanstaafl the question is not if he has |
| 11 |
to restart after the switch to the new compiler but if he has to restart |
| 12 |
after the rebuild of world with the new compiler, because he also |
| 13 |
rebuilds the kernel. |

My experience is that you don't need to restart right away after a |
| 16 |
kernel rebuild as long as you don't want to (re)load modules because |
| 17 |
that would not do 'cause kernel and modules must both be build with the |
| 18 |
same compiler to work. |

But to be sure it is possible to postpone the kernel rebuild to be near |
| 21 |
of a time where a restart can be done. |
