This has nothing to do with dependencies not getting rebuilt when the library does. It's about switching to an earlier compiler version and having every single package depending on that library fail to build due to something that is non-obvious and hard to track down. You don't know that you have to rebuild the library because you don't know which package that damned flag came from. -- gcc-porting toolchain, wxwidgets we were never more here, expanse getting broader @ gentoo.org but bigger boats been done by less water
