It will be huge, see https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64615 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61146 Every user _must_ be instructed to run 'revdep-rebuild --soname libstdc++.so.5', if a system contains things linking to libstdc++.so.5 and things linking to libstdc++.so.6 I consider it horribly broken. Thus having libstdc++-v3 installed apparently solves a problem but in fact does not solve anything, the only solution is to recompile everything c++ related on the system. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
