This guide isn't for upgrading gcc. Do you really need to change your CHOST? 
If you do be careful when following the above guide since it has the 
potential to break your system bad enough that you'll have to reinstall if 
you aren't careful..

This is for gcc upgrades only:

expat had an ABI bump which requires all programs that link against it to be 
rebuilt. That's a lot of programs... revdep-rebuild is supposed to take care 
of this but since you're going to rebuild everything anyway (due to the gcc 
upgrade and possibly the chost change) this won't really matter to you..
