Can you elaborate as to what problem you're trying to address?
I went through this process yesterday and hit no problems, all
was smooth.
GCC build tools somehow were built against shared libc.so.7 with symbol
versioning, instead of library on host. So then when we attempted to
run them, they were failing. I do not know why it was happening on
amd64 machine Scott was trying upgrade on yet. My relatively old i386
installation worked without a hitch :(
It sometimes happens when the date/time are not being set
properly, so that the tools are mistakenly rebuilt again
at an inappropriate time when in the foreign environment
of the target -- the problem is usually understood better
when building for another CPU architecture and hitting it.
I think this was an inappropriate commit to make, unless
the problem can be reproduced.  I have upgraded several
i386's and amd64's without a problem.


Cheers,

You spell it "inappropriate", I spell it "making a simple temporary commit to help be sure that the entire userbase doesn't get screwed over by a last minute problem." Whatever, fix it however you like.

Scott
