This has nothing to do with dependencies not getting rebuilt when the libra= ry does. It's about switching to an earlier compiler version and having every single package depending on that library fail to build due to somethi= ng that is non-obvious and hard to track down. You don't know that you have to rebuild the library because you don't know which package that damned flag c= ame from. --=20 gcc-porting toolchain, wxwidgets we were never more here, expanse getting broa= der @ gentoo.org but bigger boats been done by less wa= ter --Sig_/MNlA2iDYSiIP4vV/yKEjrD5 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlCSHf4ACgkQiqiDRvmkBmIlPACfTUAKIlRJ0LAQNTOOSBlm0hyb rsMAoL4DFLy7p7te0ew6CFP/63B+oTha =cCKf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/MNlA2iDYSiIP4vV/yKEjrD5--
