Only busybox is static on my machines, and it's been rebuilt. So far I've run into... * games-board/xfreecell needs CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS} -Wno-narrowing" in a custom env to build. * x11-wm/icewm segfaults right after startup when built with GCC 6.3.0 so I have to build with 5.4.0. /var/log/Xorg.0.log is useless because it sees a normal startup and a "normal exit". Other people on the Gentoo user forum report no problems with ICEWM under GCC 6.3.0. The above 2 items happen on an older desktop and netbook (both 32-bit Gentoo), and a newer desktop (64-bit Gentoo). I'm partially finished re-installing on a "newer" notebook (64-bit Gentoo). Questions... 1) Should I be doing bug reports on the Gentoo bugzilla or upstream? 2) What is the detailed procedure for adjusting symlinks to the 17.0 profile? Probably simple enough after you've done it once or twice, but I've never had to do it manually before.
