Just a note when you issue an emerge --resume, if you stopped the
emerge in the middle of a compile it will not pick up in the middle it
will start compiling that package from the beginning again.

I have a slower computer (celeron 800 mhz) and a family that doesnt
like to leave the computer on all the time so when I ran my gcc
upgrade it took close to a week and I didnt encounter any problems
during this time with a system that was only partially recompiled with
GCC 3.4.
