Thanks for the info Farhan. I'm in the process of completeing the upgrade. So far, everything has been perfectly ok. It's all compiling cleanly, no errors and there's even a slight performance increase. I haven't done and real, hard performance evaluation... but my glxgears number has jumped from 800 fps to just over 1200 fps... and that was only after competing a "emerge -e system" with the new glibc and gcc. I can;t wait to see what it looks like after a complete system recompile... I'll be back after a day or so to report. Cheers. And thank you. Jerry -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
