You can. If the dependency packages are compatible with the gcc you
are upgrading you can re-use them, or you will need to re-compile the
dependency packages themselves.
Thanks for the info. I was trying to identify which are these dependent packages. glibc seems to be one. binutils too is perhaps sensitive to gcc/glibc version. Are there any other packages I should be specifically worried about?
