After gcc update don't forget to switch to the new compiler with
Instead you can
emerge --ignore-built-slot-operator-deps=y -1uav mpfr mpc first without doing the rebuild. This leaves you with a broken gcc maybe (but actually probably not because portage preserves the old library versions), but next you simply emerge -1uav gcc anyway.After gcc update don't forget to switch to the new compiler with
gcc-config and rebuild libtool.Add comment
