I just rebuilt to be sure. (With gcc-4.7.2.) I have 50 masked due to the gptfdisk bug, but 49.1.2 continues to build, and AFAICT, work, here. And I just double-checked, nothing in /etc/portage/patches or /etc/portage/env, and no overlay ebuild either, so I'm building straight from tree. Of course being UTF8.en-US, I don't do anything exotic with unicode except the occasional web page or net radio or utube/minitube video, but I've not seen any crashing. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
