My personal advice & experience: * install the new gcc-5.4 * switch to it * run the revdep-rebuild command from the news item (see above) ... and everything should be fine. To be absolutely sure I've run an "emerge -eav world" on most machines sometime afterwards, but that shouldnt be strictly necessary. (It helps though if the revdep-rebuild command doesnt finish for some reasons.) Somehow the 5.4 stabilization got stuck and/or forgotten, it's been overdue for a while now. Many devs (including me) use 6.3 on their main machine already, without any too big problems. gcc-6 is already used by the big binary distros.
