Hi Mark,

FWIW, I have succesfully rebuilt (almost) all of my packages with GCC 4.1. They're from the 2.2 branch, revision 861. All were up-to-date before building, and the toolchain were first rebuilt two times, just to be sure. ...
However, from your report (and the ChangeLog for 4.1) updating between releases sounds quite feasible, so if we manage to get out 2.2 soon, I'd prefer to keep 4.0.x, and update to 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 through ports once they're available.
That sounds perfect!
Except one thing: any "cruxer's complete guide on the rigth way of rebuilding toolchain" ? Any sort of double-compilation sounds heretic ))
Look at the bootstrap target of the Makefile :-) In general when updating gcc for micro versions, it's enough to simply rebuild libtool. It's only if the ABI breaks it's necessary to rebuild your whole toolchain or even system.
Yes, I think this is very important. Am I paranoid?
If you want to follow the book you'll have to jump down to single user mode, but these days it usually isn't that big of an issue and should IMO only be done when building the packages on the CD, or if you're paranoid :-)
