Hi, I want to downgrade gcc from 4.5.3-r1 to 4.4.5. The Gentoo gcc UPgrade guide tells me, that ABI are only upward compatible which implies problems when downgrading and not upgrading. Nonetheless a downgrade is needed here and I want to go to gcc-4.4.5. How can I acchieve this in a clean way

Hi, Is downgrading gcc allowed within the same major version? If I wanted to downgrade my gcc from 4.3.2 to 4.1.2 then: 1) Do I simply choose 4.1.2 using gcc-config? 2) Should I expect any problems with the system if I do emerge -e system emerge -e system [OPTIONAL] emerge -e world Thanks
