Hello, In spite of 5 years in linux, I am new to sxs and to this ng. I found you because I was Googling for information on upgrading gcc and glibc, and I found the excellent guidance at http://www.opq.se/sxs/index2.html. I have also just found a couple of posts on the topic here.
I run LFS 3.3, which I installed last year (gcc 2.95.3 / glibc 2.2.5). My system is very nicely sorted and up-to-date, except for the fact that gcc and glibc have obviously moved on. Whenever I have looked into this topic in the past I have become lost and depressed in a mass of postings in other places warning about binary incompatibilities, the need to recompile most or all of my libraries, the danger of hosing my system entirely .. etc. In short, and without meaning any disrespect - the sxs guidance looks too good to be true. Is it really as easy as that? Won't I have to recompile most everything after the upgrade? Any other gotchas? I my system well backed up - so I am not worried about losing it - but I don't want to get started only to screw up because the sxs guidance is assuming something(s) I don't know. Any observations?
