Subject: Re: [funtoo] Building armv7 stage3 with metro

I will know more tommorow. Trying it now with experimental tree. I was able to upgrade gcc on gentoo, but only while doing sequential update, that is from 4.5.x to 4.6.2 and then to 4.6.3 direct upgrade didn't work out. If I remember correctly.

Was the eclass out of sync in ports-2012 or experimental? Thanks.
