I am in the process of upgrading an old (~2010) gentoo server. The customer never wanted updates ... and now he wants ... *sigh*
I managed to compile basic stuff already ... portage, gcc etc Now I get errors at emerging packages which is bad. Still no openrc installed and the udev-upgrade also is still pending. gcc-4.8.3 When I try to emerge "grep" for example, the config.log says: configure:4451: $? = 0 configure:4440: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -v >&5 Using built-in specs.
