I didn't have any more trouble than I did when I did a emerge world without the script before though. I'm not sure I ever made it through a emerge world without something failing. I have a lot of packages so something has to go wrong somewhere.

I know -- that's what I do now (except the other way around)
for packages that require gcc 4.  I just figured I wait to do
the big switch/recompile until I can get rid of 3.4 completely.

I'll probably just do a clean reinstall at that point.  When I
switched gcc from 3.2 to 3.3, it would have been a lot less
work to just re-install from scratch.
      
When I switched a while back, I found a script to do the recompile on
the forums that worked very well.  It is better than doing a system
twice then a world on top of that.  I have a copy of the script if you
would like to use it but it is on the forums somewhere.  I may can find
it.  I think it is in the documentation tips and tricks section, I think.
    

I think I've seen it.  The last time I around I followed a
script in a HOWTO using revdep-rebuild, and I ran into a lot of
problems during the re-compile: there were about a half dozen
packages that wouldn't rebuild.  Getting things going again
required about two days of masking different versions of
different packages (each of which required masking a bunch of
dependencies to get compatible versions of everything).

I had a few that wouldn't compile, not because of the script though, but I just skipped those and fixed them later on.  I didn't have any more trouble than I did when I did a emerge world without the script before though.  I'm not sure I ever made it through a emerge world without something failing.  I have a lot of packages so something has to go wrong somewhere.
