And if you want to prevent compilation issues, applications crash, you'd better not follow the Gentoo GCC Upgrade Guide [1] and do not upgrade gcc at all... :-( Sorry for this sarcasm, but I am fighting with gcc-upgrade for more than week. If I knew there would be so many issues, I'd have never started upgrading gcc! Even complete reinstalling using new 2006.1 cd would be much easier... That "four line procedure" for gcc-upgrade in [1] looks quite simple, but they forgot to mention that finally you will end with "not-so-stable" system, as before. And that only if you will be lucky enough to reach the end of this upgrade-martyrium...
