Then upgraded to gcc-4.1.1 with an immediate emerge -s && emerge -e, which went mostly smooth. Then decided to go ~x86 for the system. That is where the pain was, particularly expat which caused most of kde/gnome to need to be upgraded. Unfortunately a lot of the tools to do the rebuild also depended on expat. So it was update a few packages, rebuild a tool, update a few more packages, ... Lesson learned is when upgrading to expat-2, immediately take the hours needed to do the revdep-rebuild (in all honesty, I didn't see the ewarn message because I was upgrading 448 packages). It really would have been nice if the expat-2 emerge package died after giving the instructions to revdep-rebuild... So far (5 days) the system has been real nice, no problems. KDE appears (subjective) faster (with USE=kdehiddenvisibility). So +1 on upgrading a ~x86 to gcc-4.1.1. For those considering stable to testing, the main changes are pam-logon/shadow (unmerge pam-logon), coldplug/udev (unmerge coldplug), expat (revdep-rebuild), ocaml (dependent packages must be manually rebuilt afterwards).
