Have you ever made that switch before?
It's not worth trying, far easier to re-install and retain your data. Someone
here tried it a few months back and did succeed, but the cost!
Find first blocker, follow it down the rabbit hole, resolve all nodes on the
gigantic tree you just built, emerge. Rinse and repeat with next visible
blocker. Do this many times.
At least glibc issue won't be as big a factor as it was for that fellow. IIRC
he had to go from 2.10 to 2.7, today it's only 2.13 back to 2.12
