[gentoo-user] Accidently removed gcc-lib

[gentoo-user] Accidently removed gcc-lib

[Mine GO BOOM]

My motherboard on my Gentoo machine died, so I upgraded the system to
a much more powerful machine I had laying around. Figuring now that I
can actually compile things faster (went from a low-grade Via CPU to
AMD 1700+), I went around and figured it was time to clean up some
stuff.

After removing old version of things I thought I didn't need and were
not listed as being a dependency of any other applications, I found
out that my /usr/lib/gcc-lib is no longer valid. Old versions have
symlinks to the current, so when emerge was removing old files, it
followed the symlink and removed out everything in 3.3.6, leaving
empty symlinks.

What could I do to rebuilt /usr/lib/gcc-lib? Or do I need to copy this
from a prebuild stage tarball and then have reemerge something?

Check to see if you have a copy in /usr/portage/packages/All/.  I have
buildpkg in my make.conf and it saves a compiled "rescue" copy there. 
Since we have a similar system, I could email you mine if you would like.

May want to wait a bit and see if someone else has a better idea too.  ;-)

In an attempt to find a gcc-lib from stages, I couldn't. Then I
figured, what the hell. I symlinked the folder in
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-pc-linux-gnu to /usr/lib/gcc/i486-pc-linux-gnu
and working fine

Cool.  I had a copy here just in case.  You may want to set buildpkg in
make.conf if you have enough drive space.  It's a life saver for sure.
