sometimes the breakage is hidden and subtle - but for example stale libstdcc.la files are known to break compilation of c++ code (like qt, kde and other cool stuff). It is usually a good idea to remove a gcc-dir if there are only orphaned *la files left. btw libGL.la is generated by eselect opengl. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
