Anything above -O2 , basically. This is done in the ebuild already

you may, some programs might have miscompiled earlier, so an upgrade
would be necessary for them to work properly / even compile. Case to
case basis, generally its ok not to, but compiler upgrades are always a
good idea inside the same version.

ordering, depending on the target the dependency tree is calculated
differently. (there are multiple targets inside "world" which will be
incorporated into a best-fit way, when doing a single target you will
get a less branched path. )

Nope.

Hmm, Thats a lot of cd's youd have to throw out on the ground to make
it run all the way on it, I'd start by parking it on Gentoo. Much
simpler and less cd's required.

Now, whats the exact error when compiling gcc? Not just the ERROR:
foo/bar-baz at line... put some 30-50 lines more than that so we get a
context.
