what about glibc upgrade (was: Re: [gentoo-user] gcc 4.1 with gentoo 2006.1)

Sorry for capturing the thread. :)

What about the glibc upgrade from 2.3 to 2.4.
Does the same concerning "emerge -e world" apply here
(e.g. it is recommended to do it) ?

Or is it a more relaxed situation and simply emerging glibc 2.4 is
enough ?
